Get lifetime access to all 21 interviews, join live watch parties with other parents, a beginner ASL workshop, and 14 days free inside The Signing Room.
The price rises when the summit kicks off, so the earlier you grab it the less you pay.
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.
The All-Access Pass takes the clock off. Watch live while it's happening, go back to the ones that resonated and pick up the rest whenever you have a moment. These interviews will still be sitting in your library, waiting for you.
Each day of the summit is only available for 48 hours. With the pass you keep the entire 4-day summit, all 21 interviews, for unlimited viewing.
Enjoy them on your own time, at whatever pace fits your week. Most parents come back months later with a brand new question and find the answer already sitting in their library.
Every interview is captioned and transcribed.
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.
Hand it to your partner or your child's grandparents when they ask what you learned.
ASL Basics for Everyday Connection with Chantal Noseworthy, Deaf ASL Instructor. Saturday, Sept 19 at 2:00 PM ET.
Practical signs you can start using with your child the same afternoon. Beginner-friendly, and recorded, so if Saturday isn't yours the replay is in your library with everything else.
A 14-day free trial to The Signing Room, Shawn Ribaudo's online ASL conversational membership. Free trial expires November 1st.
Plus 30% off the 6-week membership ($97 USD value) or 20% off the annual membership ($499 USD value) if you decide to keep going.
These three live sessions are dedicated time for you to watch and integrate the content. We watch one interview together, then stay for a group discussion about what came up.
This is the part that makes it a community instead of a video library. Come to all three, or just the one that fits your week.
The Signing Room is Shawn Ribaudo's online ASL practice membership. With online classes, live 1:1 sessions, and coffee chats, we’ve got the resources you need to advance your sign to the next level.
"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!"

For the parents who want to meet other people raising deaf and hard-of-hearing kids, not just watch the interviews alone.
$75 valueDay 1 is open. Come meet the room.
Midway through. Bring whatever has come up so far.
The last one. Bring what you're still sitting with.
We'll meet live together on Zoom. Having your camera on is optional.
I'll share my screen and play one interview from that day's theme, so we're all watching the same thing at the same time. The link goes in the chat too, so you can watch on your own screen if that's easier to see. Already seen it, or is another one calling you? Watch that instead and meet us back here for the discussion.
Share what resonated, what surprised you, what you're still chewing on. Typing in the chat counts too.
None of this is required. If watching the interviews on your own is what your week can hold, that is a complete summit experience. Come to what serves you and skip the rest.
The Welcome call on Thursday and the Closing call on Sunday are free for everyone who registered. The three watch parties are for All-Access Pass holders.
Early bird ends Wednesday, September 16 at 11:59 PM ET.
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
Bought separately, everything in the pass adds up to $384. You're only paying $47 for all of it!
But the real reason to upgrade isn't the math. It's the people.
Three live watch parties with other parents raising deaf and hard-of-hearing kids. Same interviews, same questions, same week. You watch, then you get to chat about what came up with the other parents in the room.
A live beginner ASL workshop with a Deaf ASL instructor, where you learn signs you can start using with your child that same afternoon. Plus two weeks inside The Signing Room to keep practicing once the summit is over.
You can watch the interviews on your own. But the moment another parent says the exact thing you've been afraid to say out loud, that only happens in the room.
You'll get access to all the interviews starting on September 17th. As soon as you purchase, you'll get a login to your All-Access Pass library. Your Signing Room trial link will be waiting for you there.
How to Sign a Story with Shawn Ribaudo from The Signing Room, Saturday at 1:00 PM ET, is free for everyone who registered. You already have it.
ASL Basics for Everyday Connection with Chantal Noseworthy, Saturday at 2:00 PM ET, is for All-Access Pass holders only. If you've never taken an ASL class, this is for you! If you can't make it live, the replay goes into your library.
With the All-Access Pass you get three live watch parties during the summit. One hour each, on Zoom, camera on or off. No pressure either way.
Here's how the hour goes. We start with 10 minutes of welcome and any questions about how the week works. Then 30 minutes of watching. I'll share my screen and play one interview from that day's theme, so we all have the same thing to talk about afterward. I'll put the link in the chat at the same time, so if the shared screen is hard to see you can watch it on your own screen instead. And if you've already seen that one, watch another and come back for the discussion. Nothing to catch up on before you show up. The last 20 minutes are open discussion: what landed, what surprised you, what you're still sitting with. Typing in the chat counts as taking part.
This is the part that gets you through the interviews instead of letting the week slip by. I'll be there the whole time to answer questions as they come up.
The schedule:
Session 1 · Friday, September 18 · 12:00 PM ET
Session 2 · Saturday, September 19 · 12:00 PM ET
Session 3 · Sunday, September 20 · 12:00 PM ET
The watch parties are for All-Access Pass holders. The Welcome call on Thursday and the Closing call on Sunday are free for everyone who registered.
Can't make one? Nothing is lost. Your interviews are yours for life either way.
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.
If you learned your first sign last week, you're exactly who this is for.
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. The live workshops are interpreted and captioned.
If you need something we haven't thought of, email summit@krisdaria.com and we'll sort it out.
It is. The $47 CAD price on this page is available until Wednesday, September 16 at 11:59 PM ET. After that it goes to $77 CAD during the summit, and $97 CAD on September 21.
Because I'm Canadian, in Ontario. If you're in the US, $47 CAD is roughly $34 USD at checkout. You'll be charged the CAD amount and your card handles the conversion.
Most families here are in the first few years of this, and that's who the summit was built for.
But the Deaf adults in these interviews are talking about their whole childhoods, so parents of older kids consistently say the interviews land differently, and harder. Lifetime access means you can come back to them as your child grows.
Because this is a digital product with instant access to downloadable material from multiple businesses, we aren't able to offer refunds.
Read through everything on this page first, and if you're unsure about anything at all, email summit@krisdaria.com before you buy. I'd rather answer your question than take your money for the wrong thing.
Email summit@krisdaria.com and I'll get back to you within 1-2 business days.
21 conversations with Deaf creators, parents, educators, and advocates who have already walked the road you're standing at the start of. Yours to keep, to revisit, and to come back to every time the ground shifts.
