At its core, the work to advance diversity & inclusion in the deaf and hard of hearing community is about equity and opportunity. The benefits afforded through well-designed and executed early intervention strategies as well as the continued collaboration of services together have been linked to developmental successes. R. Charles consulting inspires and equips leaders to challenge existing paradigms to advance equity among all cultures and backgrounds. We facilitate environments that foster collaboration among families, professionals, and providers to enhance equity, opportunity, and accessibility to all. All of our offerings explore bias and its impact.  Leaders are exposed to and practice strategies to push bias attitudes aside at the individual level and improve your capacity for attracting diverse families to programs and events. At a community level we provide tools and framework for practical applications of taking DEIA work into your community including tools to measure outreach and build community engagement in the work you do.
