LEXINGTON, SC - September 3, 2025 - Carolina Behavior & Beyond, South Carolina's trusted provider of comprehensive Early Intervention programs, today announced the expansion of its specialized services to meet the increasing demand for developmental support among families across the state. The organization continues to strengthen its position as the region's premier destination for Early Intervention Services , serving children with special needs from birth to five years of age.

"We're seeing unprecedented demand for Early Intervention services as more families recognize the critical importance of early developmental support," said Adrianna Kleckley McCullar, Owner & Director of Carolina Behavior & Beyond. "Our mission has always been to treat each family we serve as our own, and this expansion allows us to extend our reach to even more children who can benefit from our specialized care."

Carolina Behavior & Beyond's Early Intervention approach focuses on play-based therapies delivered in the comfort of families' homes and natural environments. The organization's team of experienced Early Interventionists provides specialized support for children with speech and language delays, developmental delays, autism spectrum disorders, sensory processing challenges, and other developmental needs.

The company's comprehensive Early Intervention Services include:

• Speech and Language Therapy: Addressing communication delays and disorders through evidence-based interventions

• Developmental Support: Helping children reach critical milestones in cognitive, social, and emotional growth

Serving Families Across 19 South Carolina Counties

Carolina Behavior & Beyond currently provides Early Intervention support to families across 19 counties throughout South Carolina, including Abbeville, Aiken, Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, Calhoun, Edgefield, Fairfield, Greenville, Greenwood, Hampton, Kershaw, Lexington, McCormick, Newberry, Orangeburg, Richland, Saluda, and Spartanburg counties.

"What sets our Early Intervention Services apart is our deep personal understanding of the challenges families face," explained McCullar. "Many of our Early Interventionists have family members with special needs, which gives us unique insight and empathy for the families we serve."

No-Cost Services Through BabyNet and DDSN Programs

As an approved provider for South Carolina's BabyNet and Department of Disabilities and Special Needs (DDSN) programs, Carolina Behavior & Beyond offers Early Intervention services at no cost to eligible families. The organization also assists families in accessing additional support services including Medicaid benefits, WIC programs, ABC vouchers, and Social Security benefits.

"We believe that every child deserves access to quality Early Intervention services, regardless of their family's financial situation," said McCullar. "Our partnership with state programs allows us to remove financial barriers and focus entirely on helping children reach their full potential."

Evidence-Based Approach Drives Positive Outcomes

The organization's Early Intervention Services are grounded in research-proven methodologies that emphasize family-centered care and natural environment interventions. Early Interventionists work closely with families to develop Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSP) that address each child's unique needs and family priorities.

Recent data shows that children who receive quality Early Intervention support before age three demonstrate significantly improved outcomes in communication, social skills, and school readiness compared to children who do not receive early support services.

Loggerhead Turtle Symbolism Reflects Organizational Mission

Carolina Behavior & Beyond has adopted the Loggerhead sea turtle as its organizational symbol, representing the company's role as a "guiding light" for families navigating the challenges of developmental delays and disabilities. Just as Loggerhead hatchlings instinctively move toward the strongest light to reach their ocean home, the organization strives to be that strongest light for families seeking Early Intervention Services.

"The Loggerhead turtle represents perseverance, determination, and the natural instinct to move toward hope and opportunity," said McCullar. "These qualities perfectly embody what we see in the families we serve and what we strive to provide through our Early Intervention programs."

Growing Recognition in Early Intervention Field

Carolina Behavior & Beyond has established itself as a leader in South Carolina's Early Intervention community through its commitment to ongoing professional development, evidence-based practices, and family-centered approach. The organization's Early Interventionists participate in continuous training programs to stay current with the latest research and therapeutic techniques.

The company's reputation for excellence has led to strong partnerships with pediatricians, developmental specialists, and other healthcare providers throughout the region who regularly refer families seeking quality Early Intervention Services.

Supporting Families Through Transition Planning

Recognizing that Early Intervention is just the beginning of many children's developmental journey, Carolina Behavior & Beyond provides comprehensive transition planning services to help families navigate the shift from early intervention to school-based services. The organization works closely with local school districts and educational professionals to ensure continuity of care and support.

"Our relationship with families doesn't end when a child ages out of Early Intervention services," explained McCullar. "We're committed to supporting families through every transition and helping them access the resources they need for continued success."

Future Growth and Service Enhancement

Looking ahead, Carolina Behavior & Beyond plans to continue expanding its Early Intervention Services throughout South Carolina while maintaining the personalized, family-centered approach that has defined the organization since its founding. The company is exploring opportunities to enhance its service delivery through technology integration and expanded professional development programs.

"We're always looking for ways to better serve the families who trust us with their children's development," said McCullar.
