About Us

The Mission-driven Purpose of the Baton Rouge Speech and Hearing Foundation is to increase its clients' capacity to reach optimum levels of independent communication and social interaction, through research-based best practices, leading technology, and highly-trained professionals.

Our Services:

The Foundation’s community-based clinic is at 535 West Roosevelt, just North of LSU. A satellite clinic is located at 8393 Florida Blvd. in Denham Springs. Services are also offered in community agencies such as day care centers, private/parochial schools, senior centers and, for Early Steps clients, in their homes. The agency serves children and adults from the Greater Baton Rouge Metropolitan Area, including all ten parishes served by Capital Area United Way.  

BRSHF accepts private insurance (including BlueCross BlueShield, Coventry, United Healthcare, TriCare Medical, Verity, Cigna, MHnet, and Magellan - call for specific coverage info), Medicaid, and offers financial assistance for all services. 

Founded by the Baton Rouge Junior League and Quota International of Baton Rouge in 1960, the Foundation proudly celebrated its 50th anniversary of service in September, 2010.
