Overview
Mission
Help preschool and early elementary children with speech and/or language problems
What it reported doing in 2025
The center offers free screenings, evaluations, therapy, counseling, and education of communication skills. Free speech therapy is available to any child who is age two to seven years old without regard to race, color, creed or gener, provided they are unable to pay for or receive adequate therapy elsewhere. The center contracts for speech therapist services with sanford health. The center serves approximately 80 children each year. Therapy provided is based on a parent-involved discipline practice. Involving the parent in the process ensures that the parent and not the therapist is the authority figure to assure that lessions assigned are carried out at home. Children are kept in the program until the parents or therapist determine therapy is no longer needed. Some children may only need a couple sessions while others will be involved on a long-term basis. The center focuses on children two to seven but if room allows, children birth to 18 can be offered help.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 77% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
