Welcome!

The Deaf Children's Society of BC (DCS) is a not-for-profit agency that provides resources, programs, support and information to families with deaf and hard of hearing children from birth to age five. Using a family-centred approach, the professionals at the Deaf Children's Society offer their expertise and guidance as families navigate through choices for speech, language, education and communication.

Located in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, the Deaf Children's Society provides services and programs to residents of BC.  Beyond that, we are available for consultation for anyone seeking information on sign language, hearing loss, education of the deaf, speech-language issues of young deaf children and other areas of early intervention. 

We believe in the right of the family to make choices that meet their needs and ensure that family cohesiveness and communication are developed and maintained. At DCS, we support the cultural and linguistic values of the Deaf Community, and promote inclusive education and communication for all deaf, hard of hearing, and cochlear implanted children.  We believe in the value of the members of the Deaf Community as leaders, experts and guides in issues related to being deaf.
