OUR MISSION
The mission of the Scottish Rite Foundation of Colorado is to enhance the quality of life for Colorado’s children and their families by supporting high quality, collaborative programs for the prevention and treatment of childhood language disorders.
We provide sustaining grants to partner programs that offer speech, language, and learning therapy for children, parent education, and/or family and community language and literacy enrichment programs.
We support student and professional education and training in prevention and treatment of childhood language disorders.
OUR VISION
The vision of the Scottish Rite Foundation of Colorado is that all Colorado children with language disorders will have the opportunity to receive treatment and care.
Speech Therapy
The Scottish Rite Foundation of Colorado provides grants to its speech-language partners to help defray the cost of speech therapy for qualified children and their families.
Early Language
&
Literacy
Two RiteCare partners provide early language and literacy training for preschool-age children in selected communities.
Graduate Scholarships
The Foundation awards graduate-level scholarships in speech-language pathology to students attending either the University of Northern Colorado or the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Early Intervention is Critical
Early identification and treatment of Childhood Language Disorders is the key to a successful outcome. Families can be enrolled in special language development programs as soon as their infant is identified at-risk for a language disorder. During the preschool years, the child may receive individual or group speech and language therapy from a certified speech-language pathologist.
