Our History

In 2008, through the leadership of two speech-language pathologists, we opened our doors to a world of stroke survivors who had the potential to improve their speech but simply did not have the funds or insurance coverage to continue with hospital services. 

Challenging the traditional belief that survivors have a small window of time to recover after a stroke, we welcomed anyone who had suffered a stroke and had hope for a better life. 

In doing this, we built a community of courageous survivors, relentless caregivers and compassionate health care providers. 

Every day, we continue to grow and carry out this mission further - now expanding beyond our organization with academic research partners across the country to help us better understand the complexities of stroke. 

It’s our fundamental belief that all stroke survivors, regardless of where they live or what financial situation they have, should have access to the therapy they need to thrive at home, at work and in the community. 

Together, with our clients, caregivers, staff, donors, grantors, partners and volunteers, we will work tirelessly to make that a reality.

At Austin Speech Labs, our approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion is to treat everyone as individuals. We strive to create an inclusive culture that supports the diverse backgrounds, identities, and viewpoints of our employees, clients, caregivers, and volunteers.

One Word At A Time.
