SCOTTISH RITE CHILDHOOD LANGUAGE CENTER

What SCOTTISH RITE CHILDHOOD LANGUAGE CENTER does

Scottish Rite Childhood Language Center (operating as RiteCare Childhood Language Center of Sacramento) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 1987 and part of the California Scottish Rite Foundation network of 19 childhood language centers across California. Headquartered at 6151 H Street in Sacramento, the center provides free diagnostic and treatment services for children ages 18 months to 12 years with speech and language delays, developmental dyslexia, auditory/language processing deficits, and apraxia of speech. Services are delivered by licensed and credentialed speech-language pathologists using a structured multi-sensory approach (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile modalities) grounded in Structured Literacy methodology. Masonic affiliation is not required to receive services.

The service portfolio includes comprehensive speech-language evaluations, weekly 50-minute individual therapy sessions (year-round for up to 18 months), small group therapy, and two newer intensive programs: the Ready-Set-Read summer program for grades 3-6 wait-listed clients and the Early Intervention Intensive for grades K-2. The center also serves as a clinical training site for university Speech Language Pathology students. The organization is funded entirely by philanthropy from individuals, foundations (notably the Sacramento Region Community Foundation's Clayton Memorial Fund), corporate partners, and Sacramento Scottish Rite Freemasonry members — it receives no state or federal funding. Geographic service area extends from Sacramento north to the Oregon state line and east to the Nevada state line.

The go-to-market motion is community-led: parents initiate contact via phone or email, followed by intake assessment and placement on a waiting list. With only 14 employees, the center operates at a small, community-scale footprint. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes: Established commercial provider of multisensory literacy instruction for children with dyslexia and language-based learning disabilities; broader geographic footprint and fee-based model make it a scaled comparison to the Sacramento center's methodology.
• Landmark School: Independent school serving students grades 2–12 with language-based learning disabilities including dyslexia; comparable in clinical approach but operates as tuition-based residential/day school rather than free therapy center.

Others

• International Dyslexia Association: Non-profit advocacy and resource organization promoting evidence-based Structured Literacy instruction—the clinical framework the Sacramento center follows; comparable as a peer organization serving the same population mission.
• Decoding Dyslexia CA: Parent-led advocacy organization in California focused on dyslexia awareness, screening, and access to Structured Literacy instruction—comparable mission of expanding access to literacy services for children with language-based reading disabilities.
• National Center for Learning Disabilities: National non-profit advocating for individuals with learning disabilities including dyslexia; operates at the policy and resource layer comparable to the awareness and referral channel that the Sacramento center relies upon.

Emerging players

• Reading Partners: Non-profit literacy tutoring organization serving elementary students reading below grade level; overlapping mission of free literacy intervention for children though delivered via volunteer tutoring rather than licensed SLP therapy.
• Lexercise: Online Structured Literacy tutoring provider for children with dyslexia; comparable clinical methodology but operates on a paid teletherapy model serving families nationally rather than free in-person services.

Regional players

• EBS Healthcare / EBS Learning Solutions: Provider of school-based and clinical speech-language pathology services including therapy and evaluations; comparable as a scaled pediatric speech therapy service provider, though fee-based rather than philanthropic.
