Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The talk school, is the nation's most progressive center for the education of children with autism and speech/language disorders. As teachers, therapists and researchers we are at the forefront of a new, more accurate and person centered understanding of autism. One that presents autism as a sensory based movement disorder profoundly affecting language, social interaction and praxis. While the scientific literature is just beginning to reflect this view, the talk school has always recognized that sensory and movement difficulties are at the foundation of autism and other language disorders. As a consequence, talk school provides intensive occupational and speech therapy to support a full day systematic, multisensory, language based curriculum including all academics.

Speech and language school including academics and intensive therapies intergrated throught the day

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“Talk, inc. Is a non-profit organization as described in section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is exempt from federal and state income taxes. The accounting standards on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes address the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, the organization may recognize the tax benefit from uncertain tax positiononly if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authoritiesbased on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the organization an dvarious positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (ubit). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from a tax position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for fiscal year 2019 and 2018. The organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2016.”
