Purpose
Speech Pathology Group: Children’s Services International (SPG: CSI) is dedicated to improving the quality of life for children with speech and language disorders around the world. Speech and language therapy is often nonexistent for many children who need it most. SPG:CSI is committed to putting the people and services in place to ensure long-term, sustainable solutions by:
- Empowering caregivers and professionals with evidence-based assessment and treatment education.
- Providing charitable assistance for therapy services in low-income communities.
- Increasing the scope and practice of speech and language services in developing nations. We believe in the concept of “teaching the teachers.”
