Family & Student Advocacy Service (FSAS) Hosts First On The Road - Discovery Retreat

FSAS successfully hosted the first On The Road - Discovery Retreat at Cypress Ridge High School in Houston, Texas. This one-day retreat welcomed deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students in grades 6-12 from Cypress Ridge and Katy ISD. Parents who attended with their child(ren) also participated in a mini-workshop designed to support their journey.

Students had an exciting day engaging in STEAM activities, including Binary Code, pH level experiments, and a spaghetti-and-marshmallow tower challenge for team building. As they explored each activity, they were encouraged to think creatively and embrace new challenges.

Parents participated in a wonderful day of information gathering and discussions on various topics such as IEP/Graduation planning, how to get a job in high-school and beyond, college preparation and applications, as well as transitions. Parents were able to learn new information, gain resources, and also connect and share experiences with each other. We look forward to hosting this wonderful event again at locations all around Texas.
