We are very proud to celebrate this year’s North Murray High School recipient of the Memorial Jeff L. Townsend Rise Up Scholarship. This scholarship is offered to graduating high school seniors who plan to enter into social work or a related helping field. Haley Bartenfield plans to attend Reinhardt University in the fall, as she pursues a career as a speech pathologist working with special needs students. Congratulations Haley! Way to Rise Up!

Attention and everyone… Also thank you Beth Flemming for creating this post and allowing other practice owners to share

There is a growing need for therapy services for children across Georgia…
but the system designed to support them isn’t keeping up.

In fact, recent reimbursement cuts are doing the opposite—
they’re making it harder for clinics to stay open,
harder to hire and retain therapists,
and ultimately harder for children to access the care they need.

In this video, we break it down in a simple, honest way:
✔ Why the need for therapy is increasing
✔ What’s happening behind the scenes
✔ How these changes could impact families

Because when access to care shrinks…
children are the ones who feel it most.

💛 Our goal is to help families understand what’s happening—and feel empowered to advocate for their child’s access to services.

We will continue to advocate, speak up, and work toward solutions—because every child deserves the opportunity to grow, communicate, and thrive.

More Kids Need Therapy in Georgia—So Why Is Access Getting Harder?

Kelly Barrell, a speech-language pathologist who owns the Chatsworth Communication Station, said she wants next weekend’s autism acceptance walk in Chatsworth to do more than simply draw a crowd.
