Why Your Support Matters

Communication affects every part of a child’s life. It shapes learning, relationships, confidence, and participation in school and the community.

The San Francisco State Scottish Rite Childhood Language Program provides individualized services that help children develop communication, literacy, and related skills. Through its partnership with San Francisco State University, the program also supports emerging areas of care and education, including augmentative and alternative communication, known as AAC, and neurodiversity-informed services.

Your Attendance Helps Provide

• Speech and language services

• Literacy support

• AAC services and resources

• Neurodiversity-informed support

• Individualized care for local children

• Education and guidance for families

Bring your family. Invite your friends. Spend the day by the water and help more children access the services they need to communicate with confidence.

Stronger communities. Brighter futures.
