“Speech & language program 1. Since 1960, our highly qualified speech staff has provided speech & language evaluations for all patients referred to the center. We provide speech and language therapy for anyone who needs our services, regardless of their ability to pay. Approximately 92% of the children we see are on medicaid and could not afford therapy if we did not receive funding to provide these services. Without a strong speech and language basis, they would not be prepared for and ready to succeed in kindergarten. 2.in 2018-2019, 85% of the children attending therapy for six months or more met one or more of their speech/language therapy goals as measured by standardized tests. 3. During the fiscal year, we provided speech services in schools to 1,100 students.”

“Hearing program 1. Our highly qualified audiology staff provides hearing evaluations for all patients referred to the center. We provide these services regardless of their ability to pay. Approximately 91% of the children we see are on medicaid and without these tests, they may not have their hearing evaluated or may have untreated medical conditions. We also provide hearing tests for seniors who are on fixed income. 2. We provide hearing aids for children and adults. For adults we administer pre and post tests to ensure amplification benefits along with objective measures. Children's benefit is determined objectively through real ear measurements. 3. We provide telephones, at no cost, to speech, hearing impaired, deaf and vision impaired adults so that they can remain in their homes and be able to communicate with their family, friends, doctor, etc. 4. We also have a mobile unit to provide hearing screenings for the public and manufacturing plants throughout florida and south georgia.”

“All other accomplishments.”
