Your family knows what access to speech-language pathology services can mean. Help us protect it.
Families don’t need to understand CPT codes or billing details to help. SPEAK will handle the technical side while you focus on sharing your valuable experience and help us bridge the gap between policy and practice.
DONATE. MAKE A CONNECTION. USE YOUR VOICE.
Help Protect Access to Care
Your donation can help another family access the care yours did.
Behind every speech therapy appointment is a person who needs help communicating, eating safely, learning, connecting, participating, or living more independently.
And behind every provider delivering that care is a system that has to make providing it financially possible.
When reimbursement doesn't support the true cost of care, access can become harder to sustain.
That's why this work matters.
SLPs are contributing their data.
Independent professionals are analyzing it.
Healthcare policy experts and advocates are working to get that evidence in front of decision-makers.
But doing this work takes funding.
If speech-language pathology has made a difference for you or someone you love, this is an opportunity to help protect access for the families who will need it next.
Your donation helps fund the professional data analysis, policy expertise, advocacy, and work required to turn SLP data into evidence decision-makers can use.
Help us fight for access to the care that changes lives.
Do You Know Someone Who Can Help?
