Many of our residents have complex care needs or sensory difficulties that profoundly affect their lives. As 90% of Deaf children are born to hearing parents who may not sign (BDA, 2021), many experience early language delays and communication barriers.
At The White House, we provide a supportive, family-like environment where everyone learns, grows, and achieves independence together.
