Speech and language therapy that helps every child be heard and understood.
The RiteCare Clinic at Marshall University Speech & Hearing Center gives children across the Huntington, WV and the Tri-state area speech-language therapy, family coaching, and a place to build confidence — for minimal COST to their families, for as long as it takes.
Every therapy session moves a child closer to being understood.
These are real sessions at the Marshall University Speech and Hearing Center — the kids and families the Scottish RiteCare Clinic serves every week. It's the most honest way to show what a year of therapy actually looks like.
From a first full sentence at home to reading aloud in class without hesitation, these are the moments families tell us mattered most.
“When we first discovered the issue, he wasn’t able to communicate or express his thoughts or feelings. Once we began therapy, things began to progressively improve. He has come so far in such a short amount of time. I would recommend their services to any parent looking for help. I really don’t know where we would be today without Marshall and the support of the Scottish Rite Freemasonry Foundation."
— Jill Roswall | Mother of Troy Roswall
Family Spotlight:
The Hysell Family
Jonathan Hysell was born 15 weeks early, and by age three he couldn't communicate or eat and drink without help. A year into therapy at the Marshall University Speech and Hearing Center, his mother Connie calls his progress amazing — and says she's now waiting to hear him say "I love you, Mommy."
“Since coming to Marshall, his speech and language have skyrocketed. None of this would be possible without the financial support of the Scottish Rite Foundation."
— Connie Hysell | Mother of Jonathan
Supported by the Huntington Scottish Rite Foundation
The program provides a unique opportunity for children in the Tri-State area to develop communication skills needed to succeed in life in a supportive, compassionate atmosphere.
The mission of the program is to provide financial assistance for speech, language and hearing service provision for children. We rely on fundraising activities and donations to provide financial support for the program.
Help Sponsor a child's care and give them the gift of communication.
Every dollar goes directly to therapy — no child is ever turned away for a family's inability to pay.
