DHHARC

DHHARC serves Las Vegas families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing from an office at 3120 S Durango Dr # 301 in the 89117 zip code. The organization's four listed program strands are advocacy, support groups, therapy referrals, and educational resources, which together cover much of what a family needs in the first years after identifying a child's hearing loss.

Advocacy is often the entry point. Families of deaf and hard of hearing children navigate school systems, service eligibility, and communication access decisions, and an organization that knows the local landscape can shorten that learning curve considerably. The therapy referral function fits the same pattern: rather than providing clinical therapy itself, DHHARC connects families to appropriate providers, which is valuable in a specialty where the right provider is hard to identify from a search alone.

Support groups address something individual services cannot: many parents of a deaf or hard of hearing child have never met another family in the same situation, and groups put those families in the same room. The listed accommodations center on deaf and hard of hearing needs, ASL communication, and hearing loss support, and the organization operates in both English and ASL, meaning deaf parents as well as hearing parents of deaf children can work with it directly.

The directory shows an age range of 0 to 18, which is the directory's default range rather than a posted policy; hearing loss support spans from early identification in infancy through the teen years, so ask the office how it serves your child's specific age and situation.

Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closed weekends, year-round. The listing does not include a website, so the phone at (702) 363-3323 is the practical way to reach the organization, ask about upcoming support group meetings, or request a referral. No pricing is recorded on the listing.

For a family that just received a hearing loss diagnosis and does not know the next step, an ASL-fluent local organization built around advocacy and referrals is a sensible first call.
