Dynamic Beginnings Therapy

A new statewide initiative led by Lindsay McCary and the Carolina Autism & Neurodevelopment Research Center at USC will equip mental health professionals with specialized training, mentorship and consultation to better serve autistic youth ages 4 to 18.

We’re excited to welcome Mary Huth to the Dynamic Beginnings team! 🎉

Mary is a Speech-Language Pathologist dedicated to helping children build confidence and strengthen their communication skills through compassionate, individualized therapy. We’re thrilled to have her join our growing team as we continue supporting families across our community.

Mary will be serving children and families in the Downtown, Northeast Columbia, Cayce, and West Columbia areas, providing speech and language services that help children reach their fullest potential.

During a work lunch, we found her fortune to be spot on. Please join us in giving Mary a warm welcome to Dynamic Beginnings Therapy!

You may have noticed some of these communication boards placed at some of our playgrounds, most recently at Isle Of Palms County Park with funding from the Charleston County Parks Foundation.

These boards are a composition of images and support inclusive play on our playgrounds allowing children with limited verbal communication to connect with other kids or their caregivers in real time.

They also foster awareness that children with disabilities can actively participate in play when given the right tools, and promote empathy and acceptance by teaching children about different communication needs and abilities. It’s truly a learning tool for all kids as children can improve their reading skills, build picture-object associations, and learn new words with guidance from adults.

A simple fourth-grade writing assignment at Seven Oaks Elementary School has turned into a new tool that’s helping every student feel included on the playground.
