Needs
Access to essential healthcare services, including speech and language therapy, is a growing challenge for families in Kitsap County. Our community ranks among the worst in the state for healthcare accessibility, with a severe shortage of providers who accept Medicaid. Many private practices are shifting to private-pay models due to low insurance reimbursement rates, leaving families with limited or no options for critical speech therapy services.
At Early Life Speech & Language, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to communicate, regardless of their family's financial situation. Our program provides free, research-based, and family-centered speech therapy to children ages 2-7 with communication delays—ensuring that cost is never a barrier to care.
Your support helps us continue offering life-changing therapy to children who would otherwise go without services. By funding additional therapy hours, clinician salaries, and essential program resources, you help ensure that every child in need has access to high-quality speech and language intervention.
Together, we can bridge the gap in care and give every child the voice they deserve. Donate today to make a lasting impact!
