Our Mission

Why We Started

We started Faranak Impact with a simple belief: every deaf & hard of hearing child deserves the right support, at the right time, and every family deserves to feel informed, empowered, and supported.

Built on decades of clinical, academic, and community experience, Faranak Impact was created to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice—bringing trusted expertise, practical resources, and family-centred approaches to the professionals, organizations, and families who need them.

Our mission is to turn knowledge into action, strengthen early intervention, and help create more inclusive environments where deaf & hard of hearing children can communicate, participate, belong, and thrive.

We don’t just share knowledge. We create pathways to better outcomes.
