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.
