THE SPEECH BUS 

The Speech Bus, Inc. is a non-profit organization founded to meet the educational/language/literacy needs of preschool children in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County area. We travel to neighborhoods and community centers providing free literacy circles/activities and offering free books for kids, as well as info for parents.

​

Children entering kindergarten are expected to already have a strong foundation including knowledge of colors, letters, shapes, and functional language skills. Many children do not attend quality preschools, or they may lack the same exposure as their peers. There are various contributing factors including limited access to quality preschools, loss of childcare vouchers, lack of transportation, etc.

​

We are board certified and licensed speech-language pathologists who know that not only will our organization lessen the educational gap for these kids, but we can also improve school performance, and later possibly lower the drop-out rate in Forsyth County! Early exposure to language and literacy can reduce long term learning difficulties, and ultimately result in higher graduation rates, producing young adults who are better prepared for higher education as well as better employment opportunities. It’s a win win! There is so much work to be done… and we need your help! In order for The Speech Bus to be successful, we need donations and grants. The Speech Bus Inc. has been established in NC as a non-profit (501(c)(3)) corporation.
