History
In 1970, the San Francisco Scottish Rite Bodies opened a Childhood Aphasia Clinic.  As time evolved, 14 additional facilities were opened.   For a listing of our Childhood Language Centers, Click below:

  
Childhood Language Centers

The Scottish Rite Institute for Childhood Aphasia started in September 1960 at a conference held at Stanford University.  The attention of this conference focused on aphasic children, the forgotten child, who, untreated, might well end his or her days in state-supported institutions and never be able to reach their full potentials as adults.
In June 1962, the Stanford Institute for Childhood Aphasia was provided $22,200.00 to start this program under the direction of Dr. Eisenson.  This pilot project was to show the local public schools and other officials what could be done in such a program.  Dr. Eisenson published several articles in the Scottish Rite Publications – The New Age – relating to children’s learning disorders, their causes, effects and cures – how we can identify and assist those children.
The Scottish Rite Institute for Childhood Aphasia at Stanford University was the first such facility in the West and one of only two in the entire country at that time.  The Foundation was one of the leaders in this program to provide diagnostic services and treatment services in this field.
The program then moved to San Francisco State University under the direction of Robert H. Gottsleben.
