What parents and providers are saying about
Project ImPACT

Project ImPACT has been by far the most supportive and comprehensive therapy program for our family. Not only have we learned effective strategies to communicate with our son, but our therapist has become the foundation of our support network. She has supported us through training, direct speech therapy, communication with peers at school and now as we transition to an AAC device. If I had to choose just one program for my son, I would choose Project ImPACT without hesitation.
Patricia Dugan-AdamsPROUD MOM
Before we started Project ImPACT … from a family stand-point, I felt a little helpless. Like what do I do? And you know of course they have intervention outside of the home, going to this therapist and that, but when they come home a parent can be like, “I don’t have the knowledge.” So, having something like this, I feel like I have power to really help my kid now. And that transition—that cycle—doesn’t break when he steps in the house. You can continue to build upon what he’s learning.

I am glad to have learned about the Project ImPACT online tutorial. Having access to all of the information online makes it not only more accessible to me, but easily accessible to my families as well. By providing the tools needed online, Project ImPACT has made it easy for me to work virtually with families all across Oregon, including those who are too remote to drive to my clinic in person. Five stars!
Becky Spencer, MS CCC SLP
I want to thank you for this course—for the online course, videos that you shared with us and for clear explanations for each component of the program. For me, this was an amazing experience and gave me the confidence to start for the first time an ImPACT program in my clinical practice.
