Love what Speech Teacher does and stands for, and want to see it continue?

Speech Teacher exists for you. But creating free resources comes at a cost. I am one person, running a small business and raising a family. Costs involved paying for design software, the hosting platform, the email platform to send you info, and my time to create and let you know about these resources. If you find value in and have benefitted from any of my other free resources, please consider giving a koha, to help share the costs and show your appreciation.
