our mission
Enhancing Communication. Enriching Lives.
We’ve been serving the community since 1953. We’re an integral resource for the region, providing services for all ages and income levels. We have a sliding fee scale for the un or under-insured who cannot afford services. And for those who can, a portion of every service or product purchase assists those in our area who would otherwise not be able to afford therapy or hearing devices.
The Need We Meet
Communication disorders are surprisingly common and not everyone may know that they are struggling. Did you know:
- 5-10% of all Americans have some form of communication disorder
- 1 in 5 Americans have hearing loss in at least 1 ear
When left untreated, communication disorders can negatively impact you or your child’s life in many ways, such as contributing to behavioral problems, lags in academic achievement, and potential unemployment along with loss of wages. There’s also a strong link between an increase in health and safety issues and communication disorders.
By choosing us, you’re helping to minimize the effects of communication disorders on education, employment and social wellbeing in our community.
