To whom it may concern,

La Familia, Incorporated helps people in need live successfully within families and communities. La Familia provides multi-generational family and community living skills, coordinates care and helps clients deal effectively with their challenges. We strive to service and deliver all our services with integrity, professionalism and respect for individual and cultural diversity.

La Familia provides a comprehensive therapeutic group home program for adolescent Deaf and hard of hearing, ages 15 through 20. Adolescent deaf and hard of hearing experience the same stresses, emotions, and social problems as their hearing peers. However, these issues are exacerbated by limited linguistic and cultural access to professionals knowledgeable in these areas.

La Familia’s therapeutic group home is a community-based program staffed by experienced and knowledgeable individuals who are fluent in American Sign Language and understand the culture of the Deaf. Our adolescent Deaf and hard of hearing students live in a “home-like” environment free of linguistic barriers which provides a balance of therapeutic learning and integration into the community. Each student is expected to attend school in the Albuquerque Public School system as well as participate in local and Deaf community affairs.
