Sacramento Scottish Rite Childhood Language Center

The Sacramento Scottish Rite Childhood Language Center, established in 1987, is housed in the Scottish Rite Masonic Center at the corner of H Street and Carlson Drive (across the street from the entrance to California State University, Sacramento). The Center serves children between the ages of 18 months and 12 years of age, residing within the Sacramento Scottish Rite Bodies of Freemasonry. The service area extends from Sacramento north to the Oregon State line and east to the Nevada state line. These services are provided by clinicians who must have a Master of Art Science and/or Doctoral Degree in Speech Language Pathology, a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the American Speech-Language Association and a License through the State of California. The Center also serves as a training site, providing internships for University students studying in the field of Speech Language Pathology. In 2023, we evaluated and treated 104 children in our program, providing a total of 3,260 hours of therapy during 3,090 sessions, graduated 44, and currently maintain a waiting list of 59 children.
