News & Notes

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and connection—but for parents of Deaf or Hard of Hearing children, it can also come with unique challenges. At BEGINNINGS, we understand the importance of making holiday experiences accessible and enjoyable for every family member. With a bit of planning, creativity, and the right resources, you can ensure your child feels included, engaged, and part of the holiday magic. Here are some tips and resources to help you navigate this season with confidence and joy.

As the year draws to a close, the holidays remind us of the joy of connection—moments shared with loved ones, laughter around the dinner table, and the sparkle of traditions passed down through generations. For families of children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, these moments take on even greater significance, as communication opens the door to shared understanding and cherished memories.

This month’s BEGINNINGS newsletter highlights inspiring family stories, essential resources, and updates to support families of children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Inside, you’ll find features on Microtia and Atresia Awareness, caregiver recognition, and exciting opportunities like bilingual job openings and upcoming events.
