Deaf Children NZ | Tamariki Turi O Aotearoa (formerly known as the New Zealand Federation for Deaf Children Incorporated (NZFDC)) is a national group made up of nine regional Parent Groups throughout New Zealand. We promote and coordinate measures conducive to the welfare of Deaf and hard of hearing children and their families. We provide Information Kits for families of newly identified children, offer financial assistance with tutor fees and assistive devices, plus we have grants and scholarships for school students. We advocate for our parents around services and supports for their children at a government and agency level.
