The California Scottish Rite Foundation gratefully acknowledges the San Diego County Employees’ Charitable Organization for their $1,000 grant award. Thanks to this generous support, we’ve been able to acquire new iPads for our San Diego RiteCare Childhood Language Center, enhancing both in-clinic and tele-therapy services for children with speech-language needs.

Graduation is more than a ceremony—it’s a testament to perseverance, purpose, and community. As the academic year closes, we’re proud to celebrate a new class of graduates from our university partners at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), Cal State LA, and Fresno State.

Leah offers unique insights into the meaningful world of speech and language therapy and the work of the California Scottish Rite Foundation

"Speech therapy and language services aren’t just what they do during their business hours, It’s a passion.”

Leading with curiosity, sensory play involves engaging with senses such as touch, sight, sound, taste, and smell in an experimental way.

Hearing a child speak their first words is a monumental moment for caregivers, signifying the child's entrance into the world.

Laurie’s work at the RiteCare Childhood Language Center of Orange County has led to remarkable progress for many children.

If you are seeking ways to enhance your child's reading fluency and speech development, working with sight words is an excellent approach.

With increased free time, maintaining a connection to learning—especially through reading—is invaluable for a child's ongoing development.
