Abstract: This qualitative textual analysis explores the information shared on a social media group for parents of deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children. The authors sought to investigate the type of information parents of DHH children are seeking and receiving from a community on social media related to their child's development. A thematic analysis was conducted on one month's worth of content from the group, and six major themes emerged from participants' posts and threaded comments. These emerging themes and accompanying subthemes provide insight into the immediate needs of parents of DHH children and may help inform the practice of professionals who work with DHH infants, toddlers, and their families. Results from this study may bring awareness to the concerns of parents with DHH children and help professionals best support them, thereby improving the overall early intervention process.
