We are thrilled to celebrate the incredible collaboration between the SXU Ludden Speech Clinic and Community High School District 218, including the Adult Transition Program (ATP) and Eisenhower High School’s Special Education Program! This partnership is making a lasting impact by creating meaningful opportunities for students with special needs (ages 18-22) through education, recreation, and mentorship.
This collaboration was on full display at the Polar Plunge, where we came together to raise over $15,000 for Special Olympics! Through Unified Sports and Clubs, ATP students and SXU students build friendships, foster inclusion, and develop essential communication skills. With the Ludden Clinic’s expansion of speech therapy services, we’re integrating functional daily living, recreation, and leisure activities into speech therapy—helping students grow through volleyball, cooking, gardening, bowling, and more!
A huge thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and supported this incredible event. Your generosity and dedication continue to make a difference!
