Clinical Philosophy

When I first started the Speech & Language Stimulation Center, Inc. (in about 1984), I wanted to develop a symbol to express my philosophy of therapy. I spent hours with a graphic artist looking over Japanese symbols and other art books. This is what we developed.

The modified palm fronds are symbolic of communication. The crane represents communication between the heavens and the earth. The concept of the fronds going in a circle shows how one has to do some things over and over (stimulation) to really get it. The fronds that stick out from the circle show that sometimes you have to break away from the routine and do things a little differently. The space in the middle of the circle is a reminder to listen, observe, and simply let things come into that open space – often that’s where the answers are. The colors remind us of the sky and the earth – to look up (to breathe) and down (to feel our feet on the ground).
