Our Core Values

Educate

We started Beginnings SC because we know how big the challenge is to raise a child who is deaf or hard of hearing. We turn our expertise into simple, helpful resources so you can support your child’s future.

Advocate

We’re here to help you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be by creating an individualized plan that fits your family and connecting you with professionals and other parents to increase opportunities for both your child and your family. 

Facilitate

We offer professionals resources and guidance based on best practices. This helps increase access to and the reach of SC's resources. Beginnings SC enhances awareness and identification through conducting hearing screenings, providing training, and engaging with the community.

"Beginnings SC is there for the families with newly diagnosed babies and kids. Beginnings SC is there when a family needs to know their rights when fighting for equal access for their child’s education. Beginnings SC is there when questions come up that you didn’t ever see coming. Beginnings SC is there. Beginnings SC is working to make sure that every child who is deaf or hard of hearing has the chance to achieve their potential. I cannot thank them enough for what they do!”

Abby's Mom

"You don’t know what you don’t know, and it scares me to think about how we would not be stewarding Ava’s language and development correctly if Beginnings had not reached out to us. We truly would not be where we are on Ava’s hearing and developmental journey if it weren’t for Beginnings.”
