About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to AAC Speech Clinic and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you ever wonder if they’re practicing their vowels out there?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘Actually, yes, sometimes I do.’ Just then, an excited child ran in shouting, “I did it! I said /eeeee/ without closing my lips!” The delivery driver chuckled and drove off, muttering under his breath, ‘Guess they are practicing after all.’

2. One day, a delivery driver arrived at AAC Speech Clinic with an unusual package. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd on the pavement—a small, dusty wooden box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside reading: ‘Open only if you’re here for speech therapy.’ He opened the box carefully, revealing a tiny teddy bear wearing a funny hat. Startled, he looked around but saw no one else nearby. Then, laughing out loud, he decided to keep the bear as a joke gift for his niece who loved surprises. Since then, whenever someone mentions AAC Speech Clinic, people whisper that maybe the bears they give away are actually delivered by secretive speech therapists.

3. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver approached AAC Speech Clinic with a large box marked ‘Confidential.’ Curious neighbors passing by noticed something odd: the box seemed to be talking softly to itself. As he opened it, a tiny robotic voice inside said cheerfully, 'Welcome to our new speech therapy AI!' Turns out, the clinic had just received an advanced language-learning assistant for their patients—who knew technology could talk back so charmingly?

4. In the late afternoon, a little girl walked into AAC Speech Clinic holding her teddy bear tightly. As she entered the waiting room, everyone noticed that her toy seemed to be whispering something softly. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman sitting nearby leaned forward and asked gently, ‘Is your teddy bear trying to tell us something?’ Everyone laughed as the girl giggled, shaking her head no. The whispering stopped, but everyone agreed it was one of those days when even inanimate objects seem to come alive.
