Testimonies from Relate & Grow Employees:

“Being a speech-language pathologist with Relate and Grow has been a wonderful experience in the past year. The families who I have had the opportunity to work with through this company are so invested in their child's care and genuinely want what's best for them. I love the flexibility this job offers and the way it challenges me to grow both personally and professionally. I would recommend working with Relate and Grow to anyone looking for a job or therapy services for their child.”

“It’s so rewarding to get to build such genuine relationships with children in a way that is respectful to their personal wants and needs, rather than in a way that hinders who they are.”
