The Capland Speech Therapy Center was established in 1953 to serve children with speech and hearing disorders. The agency broadened its mission in 1958 to serve adult clients as well as children. The Capland Center has continued its original mission of providing affordable speech-language-hearing therapy services to residents of Jefferson, Orange, Hardin and the surrounding counties. The Capland Center receives partial funding from area United Way organizations which enables the agency to offer financial assistance to economically disadvantaged clients needing speech-language-hearing therapy services.
