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 RiteCare Childhood Language Center of San Diego, enhancing both in-clinic and teletherapy services for children with speech-language needs.

At our San Diego center, we provide free, high-quality speech-language therapy to young learners across a wide spectrum of communication challenges. Integrating iPads into our program lets our certified speech-language pathologists leverage interactive apps and digital tools to make therapy sessions more engaging and accessible. From articulation exercises and language-building games to social skills activities, these devices empower children to practice and track their progress in real time—whether they’re in the clinic or joining remotely.

This grant not only equips us with the technology to innovate our therapy offerings, but also reinforces our commitment to removing barriers to communication success. We look forward to sharing the positive outcomes these iPads bring and celebrating the strides our students will make with this enhanced support.
