Atlanta Speech School

The Atlanta Speech School effects transformative change in the lives of children and adults through research-based practices, innovation, advocacy, and partnerships with other organizations so that each child at the School and every child in Georgia can acquire the language and literacy abilities essential for deciding their own future and making the most difference in the lives of others.

Composed of three preschools (Katherine Hamm Center, Kenan Preschool, and Stepping Stones), a K-6th elementary school for children with dyslexia (Wardlaw School), The Clinic (offering language and literacy services including SLP, OT, Audiology, and the Learning Lab), as well as the Rollins Center for Language and Literacy (professional development scaled through the Cox Campus online learning platform), the programs share a common mission: to help each person develop their full potential through language and literacy. Each day, extraordinarily dedicated and talented individuals make profound differences in the lives of the children and adults they serve, helping them discover their voice and its power for a lifetime. As a core part of its mission, the School has never denied access to a child in need of its services as a result of a family’s socioeconomic circumstances.
