ABOUT US

The Mission of Early Life Speech & Language is to provide intensive speech therapy to children 2-7 years old with speech delays, at no costs.

RiteCare of Washington dba Early Life Speech & Language, has offered intensive, individualized speech and language therapy to children 2-7 years old since 1984. Services are provided at no cost to families thanks to the generosity of our founders, the Scottish Rite Masons, and our community of donors and sponsors.

We work with young children who exhibit speech or language delays but are otherwise developing typically in the areas of physical and cognitive abilities.

Children are considered for services without regard to family income, insurance or Masonic affiliation.

Parents are our Partners

A key part of our treatment philosophy is the inclusion of parents and caregivers. Early Life Speech & Language therapists work closely with families to define treatment goals and to teach parents and caregivers how to help children master essential speech and language skills at home and during everyday routines and activities. We also encourage parents to attend our free Parent Education classes on a variety of topics.
