From pioneering therapy programs to fostering collaboration among multilingual, multidisciplinary professionals, we’re proud to have made a lasting difference in the lives of so many children, families, and partners.
As we reflect on our journey, we extend heartfelt gratitude to our members, colleagues, and supporters—past and present—who have shaped our story. Together, we continue to inspire inclusion, celebrate every voice, and work towards a future where everyone can communicate with confidence.
