Rita Farencino’s journey of discovery about her daughters’ hearing loss has been challenging, but the Mill Neck Manor School for the Deaf has been a source of comfort and support. The school provides a safe haven for families with deaf and hard of hearing children, offering assistance, resources, and a welcoming environment. Rita and her family have learned sign language and other communication skills to help them communicate with each other. The school has become like a second family, providing invaluable support and guidance.
