We received a $5,000 grant from the Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation to fund speech generating devices and expand our training program for children using Augmentative and Alternative Communication devices. In a time when families are experiencing so much uncertainty, we appreciate the support provided by Cow Creek more than ever. With this grant, we hope to help bridge the gap in available resources for children with complex communication needs in our community.

We Are Here for You and Your Family

March 20, 2020

All of us at Adler’s Voice hope you and your loved ones are well, staying safe, and taking care of one another in these uncertain times. Our hearts are with everyone around the world who has been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak and we are incredibly grateful to all who are working tirelessly to keep our communities healthy and safe.

As trying as these times are for parents and educators, for children who rely on routine and consistency, the absence of a school day schedule can cause tremendous anxiety. Additionally, the sudden lack of customized educational supports and services can leave parents struggling to fill in the gaps. For these reasons, Adler’s Voice wants you to know that we are here to support you and your family. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have a specific need, view our online courses and downloadable materials, and keep an eye on our Facebook page, where we will be curating many wonderful resources shared by educators, speech-language pathologists, assistive technology specialists, and developers from around the world. There is a strong village of support for children with complex needs, and we will do our best to bring that village to you.

Stay home. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay connected.
