The COVID-19 Pandemic has changed all of our lives, especially for our families, schools, and students. As life becomes more restricted and schools further postponed, we understand that those most harmed by these changes are our most vulnerable communities – Asian American families who have become the targets of xenophobic attacks, as well as Black, Indigenous, and under-resourced communities who suffer from higher rates of infection due to systemic racism in healthcare access. 

We take this alarming reality as a signal for long-overdue systemic change, and as a call to action in our organization’s work. Firstly, we commit ourselves to social justice and anti-racist work, and advocate for large-scale reform in our healthcare and education systems so that our families and students can thrive both during and after this pandemic. Secondly, CHAT is dedicated to bridging these inequity gaps through providing accessible speech and language services for our clients. For over 40 years, CHAT has been the go-to place for people with few – if any – other options. In light of the pandemic and school closures, we have taken our work one step further and completely transitioned to teletherapy to reach the students, clients, and families who need us most today. 

As established teletherapy providers, we can engage, support, and connect your child to life changing speech therapy today. To get started, contact us at info@chatwithus.org.
