About Graceful Speech
Graceful Speech, a fee-for-service speech therapy clinic, opened its doors at the end of July 2007.
Birds are often symbols of grace. In Japanese lore, the crane or tsuru is also symbol of longevity and health. I have been told that when a baby is born sickly or with a handicap, a name derived from the word tsuru is sometimes given for good luck. After the baby recovers or overcomes the handicap, then the name that was planned for the baby is given.
It is the mission of Graceful Speech to provide communication services to children and adults that will enable them to succeed in the community as much as possible.
