ACT #72: Made a donation to the Pediatric Playhouse to help with the purchases of AAC devices! 📱

The Pediatric Playhouse is an outpatient therapy company that provides occupational, physical, and speech therapy services to children Birth- 21 years of age.

The Pediatric Playhouse is passionate about providing the supports for children to access their world! For individuals with communication difficulties, AAC devices can help bridge communication gaps. An AAC device provides individuals who are speech impaired or non-speaking, with the ability to communicate more effectively using technology (e.g. iPads, speech generating devices, text to speech, etc.)

AAC devices can be expensive, and the approval process can be long and difficult, with many insurance plans declining coverage. Donors that collaborate with The Pediatric Playhouse assist with providing access to life-changing technology for individuals who otherwise might not be able to afford it. It’s important that ALL of our children have a voice!
