Amazing Speech Opportunity Alert!! Our Buffalo Playhouse has been chosen to be a part of this exciting research opportunity. 🙌

The Department of Speech and Language from Arizona University has been awarded NIH funding to do research and data collection around adolescents with Down syndrome (10-25 yrs old) and what techniques/strategies are most effective to develop speech.

Participants can gain knowledge specific to their own speech development. Such knowledge can be shared with therapists, educators, or anyone who supports the individual.

Scheduling and location of research is extremely flexible and will take place between June 22nd and July 17th. Every participant enrolled walks away with $20. Spots will fill up quickly so don’t wait. Schedule today! Be sure to scan the QR on this flyer for more info.
