Who is Houston RiteCare?
Houston RiteCare's mission is to help children in our area with speech, language, or learning disabilities take the first step toward achieving academic success. We strive to enhance the quality of life for those children, and their families, by supporting high quality, collaborative programs for the prevention and treatment of childhood language disorders.
This year we are supporting four programs in the Greater Houston area that have goals closely aligned with our own, and have proven track records of success. The services provided to the children are delivered by highly trained professionals in a caring and compassionate way.
Houston RiteCare Infant Program
The Houston RiteCare Infant Program is an exciting and innovative oral communication program for deaf children. Research has shown that the earliest possible intervention produces the best possible results. When deaf children learn to listen and speak, they learn to read like their peers and can realize their full academic potential. Our RiteCare Infant Program provided this vital speech therapy, free of charge, to eligible infants and their families during the past year.
RiteCare Summer Tutorial
This three week summer school reinforces and builds on dyslexia training received during their regular school year, which helps prevent the loss of previously acquired skills. This program currently serves over 28 children and strives to enhance student knowledge of sound/symbol relationships, decoding skills, comprehension strategies, and written expressive skills.
RiteCare Project Talk Summer Camp
Partnered with the Texas Hearing Institute, this week long camp allows children to hang out with other amazing kids just like them. Attendees will be able to meet other kids with hearing loss, learn to increase their social and conversational skills, and sharpen their listening skills - all while having a blast participating in exciting activities. This program utilizes graduate students from Lamar University, and other schools, to provide speech therapy for kids, many of whom were part of our infant program.
Houston RiteCare Scholarship Program
The Houston Scottish Rite Scholarship Fund is designed to assist parents with an avenue to diagnose the difficulties the child is having in school. It is focused on identifying dyslexia so that the child can have this adequately addressed by a targeted curriculum at their school. This diagnostic scholarship is done in collaboration with the Robert Strudler's Diagnostic and Remediation Center and helps to prevent delays in getting kids the help they need while eliminating the need to travel to Dallas to be tested at the Scottish Rite Hospital.
