Beth B. Eaton Scottish Rite Language and Literacy Center

The Scottish Rite Masons are an international fraternal organization whose philanthropy is childhood language and literacy disorders. The Scottish Rite Masons have devoted much of their energy to helping children with language and literacy disorders reach their potential. Across the country, the Freemasons of the Scottish Rite have established over 100 clinics for childhood language and literacy disorders.    

In Arkansas, this facility is the Beth B. Eaton Language and Literacy Center and is located at the UALR/UAMS Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic. The Eaton Center, established in 1998, serves children from birth through adolescence who are having difficulty hearing, speaking, or comprehending language. Approximately 50 children are seen each year for diagnostic and therapeutic services, with all professional fees covered by the Scottish Rite Masons.

Preschool Language Group Update

We are having an exciting year in PLEP. We have 7 children enrolled and 7 student clinicians. Our graduate student trainee for the year is Tara Reeves-Phelen.  Tara is a first year graduate student and has completed two semesters as a PLEP clinician during the 2007-2008 year.  She is having a lot of fun leading this group and is doing a tremendous job! Dr. Greg Robinson began working with PLEP in January, 2006. His interest and expertise are in the areas of child language and multicultural/multilingual issues in speech, language, and hearing disorders. The PLEP clinic is once again included on a training grant called Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) through the Department of Health Resources and Services Administration.  UALR, UAMS, and UCA Students will be participating in the PLEP program from a several disciplines, such as audiology, nutrition, social work, occupational therapy, physical therapy, psychology, and others. 

The PLEP group meets on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9:00 until 12:00. Our mornings are filled with language and literacy activities. If you're on campus on either of those mornings, please stop by and visit with us. The Scottish Rite Masons provide funds to pay for selected children to receive scholarships.

If you are interested in scheduling an appointment or would like additional information, please contact Gregory Robinson, PLEP Coordinator, or Beth Eaton, Director of the Scottish Rite Language and Literacy Center, at (501) 569-3155.
