SC Hands & Voices
"What works for your child is what makes the choice right."
Welcome to South Carolina Hands & Voices! SC Hands and Voices is a growing chapter of the national Hands & Voices organization. We are a parent-driven, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting SC families of children who are D/deaf or hard of hearing. We are unbiased about communication methodologies and believe that families can make the best choices for their child if they have access to good information and support. Our membership includes families who communicate manually and/or orally. From American Sign Language to cochlear implants, our organization represents people from all different approaches to, and experiences with, deafness or hearing loss. Our chapter is comprised mainly of parents and caregivers along with the professionals who work with their families. View our program brochure HERE.
