This year, The Speech and Stuttering Institute Team committed to donating to a local food bank.

It was such a pleasure to drop off the food and money the SSI staff raised this year to support The Community Share Food Bank located just around the corner from us at 33 Overland Drive.

When our Executive Director Kevin Kozak arrived, he was greeted by Natalie Russell, who is the Chair on their Board of Directors.

She was very welcoming and appreciative of our donation, and mentioned our support would go to help the 246 families that they were feeding that day. The church was very busy with both volunteers and people coming in to pick up their food packages.

We are so thankful to our SSI team for deciding to help in this manner this holiday season!

🏀 Raptors vs. 76ers (Jan 12, 2026 | Section 107 Row 5)
And every donation of over $100 will be entered into a draw to win two tickets to:

Does speech motor control influence error patterns labeled “phonological”?

We’re thrilled to share new research from our Expert Advisor, Dr. Aravind K. Namasivayam, featuring randomized controlled trial data from SSI.

The study shows that many “phonological error patterns” in children with speech sound disorders may actually have a speech motor basis.
