September 17 to 20 is four days of conversations with 21 Deaf creators, parents, educators, and advocates about what actually happens when a family raises a deaf child.
Some of these you'll watch once. A few you'll want again. A Deaf adult describing what school actually felt like. A parent saying out loud the thing you've been carrying around by yourself.
Four days is enough time to watch all of it. It isn't enough time for it to sink in.
The All-Access Pass takes the clock off. Go at your own speed, and come back to it next year, when your kid is a year older and the same interview lands differently.
Each day of the summit is only available for 48 hours. With the All-Access Pass you keep all 21 interviews, for unlimited viewing.
Enjoy them on your own time, at whatever pace fits your week. Every interview is captioned and transcribed so you can consume the content in your own way.
A workbook with the biggest takeaways from each conversation in one document you can search, print out, or scroll through on your phone whenever you have a moment.
It's how you remember what landed six months from now. It's also what you hand your partner, or your mom, when they want to help and have no idea where to start.
A live workshop with Chantal, a Deaf ASL Instructor. You'll learn practical signs around everyday moments you already have with your child: getting up in the morning, eating together, playing and transitions, and night time routine. Chantal is warm, funny, and loves teaching parents who are beginners.
Two weeks of conversational ASL groups, sorted by level, so you're never the only one fumbling and never the one holding everyone up. Level up your sign language with people who are learning right along with you.
We watch one interview together, then have a group discussion about it. I'll choose the interview ahead of time so we're all in the same conversation. I hold this space as a certified group facilitator.
A supportive space for parents to share what landed or what surprised them. No advice-giving, no fixing, nobody telling you what you should be doing differently.
The Signing Room is Shawn Ribaudo's online ASL practice membership. Online classes, live 1:1 sessions, and coffee chats with Deaf instructors and other people learning to sign.
"I can't believe the progress I've made in short amount of time! I've learned more in 1 month of the Signing Room than I have in 2 years of ASL classes! Mind Blown!"
Erica, parent3 consecutive days of live watch parties to help you make space to actually watch the interviews, September 18, 19 and 20 at 12:00 PM ET. Come to all three or just one. Camera on or off.
A supportive space for parents to share what landed or what surprised them. No advice-giving, no fixing, nobody telling you what you should be doing differently.
Keep all 21 interviews permanently, plus bonus sessions not included in free registration.
A portion of profits will be donated to the Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf
Keep every interview, so you can take them at the pace your week allows instead of racing a 48-hour clock.
Meet other parents at the live watch parties. Same interviews, same questions, same week.
Practice in The Signing Room with other people who are learning ASL, so the signs don't stop when the summit does.
You'll get access to all the interviews starting on September 17th at 9:00 AM ET. You'll be notified by email with all the instructions.
All sessions will be recorded and replays will be shared. If you upgrade and Saturday doesn't work, the replay goes into your library and stays there.
No. Most of the parents in this room are starting from zero, or close to it. The workshop is built for beginners and the interviews assume nothing.
Every interview is captioned and transcribed, on the free ticket and the All-Access Pass both. That's the guarantee.
Interviews with Deaf presenters are signed in ASL with English interpretation. Some interviews are in spoken English only, and those are captioned and transcribed like everything else.
There will be an ASL interpreter present for the Welcome and Closing calls, the ASL workshops, and the first Live Watch Party on Friday.
If you need something we haven't thought of, email summit@krisdaria.com and we'll sort it out.
It is. Free registration and the $77 CAD summit-week price have both closed. The All-Access Pass is now $97 CAD.
Because I'm Canadian, in Ontario. If you're in the US, $97 CAD is roughly $70 USD at checkout. You'll be charged the CAD amount and your card handles the conversion.
Because this is a digital product with instant access to downloadable material from multiple businesses, we aren't able to offer refunds.
