Community Connections:
WALK for AUTISM
On October 13th, 2007 the Northern Virginia Chapter of the Autism
Society of America will be hosting the Walk for Autism. The Walk
helps raise funds to provide therapy scholarships for children with
autism. Find out more.
Partners in the Community
In April, RSLC partnered with a local H.S. to allow a student
in to observe what a career as a Speech/Language Pathologist looks
like from the inside out. The student was able to observe therapy,
help make materials, and generally got to experience what being an
SLP is all about.
RSLC wants to thank you for helping make this possible by sharing
your children with us and with our student. We appreciate your trust
in us as we try to encourage the next generation of speech/language
pathologists.
