Easterseals Offers Summer Speech Program

Easterseals is offering summer speech therapy programs in Toledo for children with speech and language disabilities or delays. Understanding the importance of giving children the access to speech therapy year-round, Easterseals hopes to help clients maintain the level of ability they’ve worked all school year to obtain. Also offered will be evaluations for potential clients, for children ages birth to school age. Services will be provided Monday, Thursday and Friday at the Easterseals Monroe St. office in Toledo and on Tuesday and Wednesday in Fremont. Sessions are typically a half hour once a week. Each child will be evaluated for speech therapy by a therapist who can develop a plan with individualized goals. Easterseals provides the evaluation if one has not been completed in the last year.

Fees are on a sliding scale and they will bill insurance plans, BCMH and Medicaid.
For more information on the summer speech program,

Blissfield School Teacher Leads Fundraiser for Therapy Dog

In March, a “hat day” fundraiser at Devin’s school (above) raised additional funds for the therapy dog.
In March, a “hat day” fundraiser at Devin’s school (above) raised additional funds for the therapy dog.

4th grader Devin Palacios is a student at Blissfield Elementary and, with the help of his teacher Nicole Lundquist, he finally has the best friend he’s been waiting for— his therapy dog. As a student with autism, ADHD and anxiety, Devin had been in need of a therapy dog for quite some time. With the help of Mrs. Lundquist and the students at Blissfield Elementary and Middle School, a GoFundMe was set up for Devin, who now has the therapy dog he and his family have been seeking for over two years.
