About the Foundation
Our Story
At Celebrations Speech Group, our work has always been about more than therapy sessions. It is about walking alongside people as they learn to communicate, build confidence, and connect with the people in their lives.
Over the years, we celebrated countless milestones with the families we serve. We also watched what happened when life took an unexpected turn. A parent loses a job. Insurance coverage ends. A diagnosis brings new costs. Suddenly therapy, the consistent weekly work that took years to build, is at risk of stopping.
Our team felt that loss alongside every family who experienced it. We knew we could not solve every challenge. But we could refuse to let finances be the reason someone stopped progressing.
That is why the Celebrations Speech Group Foundation was created. The foundation provides temporary financial assistance so individuals with diverse abilities can keep their therapy without interruption, and keep moving forward.
Our Mission
At the Celebrations Speech Group Foundation, our mission is to ensure that financial hardship never stands in the way of essential therapy services. We provide temporary financial assistance so individuals with diverse abilities can access a broad spectrum of essential, evidence-based services, including speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, applied behavior analysis (ABA), educational support, and integrated developmental care, empowering every individual to thrive, grow, and achieve their highest potential.
What We Stand For
CompassionWe meet families where they are. No judgment. No paperwork that adds weight to an already hard moment. |
AccessCare should not depend on a family's financial circumstances. We exist to remove that barrier, one award at a time. |
ProgressEvery milestone matters. The first word, the new skill, the breakthrough no one saw coming. |
TransparencyYou deserve to know how every dollar is raised, used, and distributed. Open, honest reporting, every year. |
Our Founding
The Celebrations Speech Group Foundation was founded by the team at Celebrations Speech Group, a therapy provider serving families across Brentwood, Stockton, Elk Grove, and the surrounding communities. We watched the families we served face real obstacles to staying in care, and we created the foundation to do something about it.
While we share a name and a commitment to the people we serve, the foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) charitable organization with its own board of directors and a formal conflict-of-interest policy. Funding decisions are made in the best interest of applicants, guided by our charitable mission and reviewed by our independent leadership.
