World Of Words (WOW) was initially vendorized with the Golden Gate Regional Center to provide speech/language therapy services. Occupational therapy services were later added, and in 2013, a new branch was added to include specialized instruction early intervention services. 

 

WOW is owned and operated by Rosa Preciado-Rodriguez, MS, CCC-SLP, Bilingual Speech-Language Pathologist. Rosa has been providing speech/language therapy services in English and Spanish since 1997. She received a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology from California State University, Hayward. 

 

World Of Words currently has speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and early interventionists on staff. Most of the WOW staff is bilingual, and we are currently able to provide services in English, Spanish, and Chinese.

 

WOW is currently contracted by the regional centers in San Francisco, San Mateo, & Santa Clara Counties to provide Early Start services to children under 3 years of age, including  speech/language therapy, occupational therapy. and specialized instruction early intervention services.  These services can be provided at the client's home, preschool, daycare, or in the community (e.g., at the park, library, or community play group).  WOW also provides therapy services

for private pay clients for both preschool and school-age children.
