Speech, Hearing and Rehabilitation Enterprises (SHARE) of Coastal Georgia, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that exists solely for the purpose of helping adults and children with disabilities. SHARE has three services we offer to Glynn County and surrounding counties:
Speech Evaluations & Hearing Screenings
Vocational Rehab for Individuals with Disabilities (DEAR)
Senior Adult Activities Day Program (The Sharing Club)
SHARE provides speech therapy & hearing screenings for children and adults. We offer hearing screenings for the community by one of our Speech Therapists for a small fee that is based on income. We take Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurances. Once therapy is needed; the client will need to have a script from their doctor's office faxed over to SHARE. We need all payor source information so we can follow up on insurance billing procedures. Afterwards, we will schedule the appointment to be evaluated by the Speech Therapist.
In addition, we have The Sharing Club, which is an adult activities day program for retired seniors that is a safe place for seniors to attend. We have a large library with movies, books, puzzles, artwork, art supplies and we have Bible Study groups and Support Groups (Grief Support, Newcomers Meetings). Visit our Photo Gallery to see some of our happy, smiling clients! SHARE is located off Parkwood Drive down the street from the hospital behind the park playground area. Clients will enter our main entrance which is off W. Park to ring the buzzer at the main front door. Since we are not using all of our space; we are letting the community use rooms for meetings, luncheons, community events and we also have educational workshops with guest speakers every quarter.
Dear program helps individuals with disabilities become more independent. Life skills and social skills are taught in an adaptive classroom environment. They have their own kitchen so they can learn cooking skills such as frying an egg, making popcorn, making yogurt parfaits, toasting bread and/or making cereal. SHARE partners with other agencies for additional educational opportunities such as the UGA Extension office which offers cooking classes. The goal of all the programs is to empower clients so they can live alone or in a group home if needed should their caregivers no longer be able to provide care. We serve a vast population with a variety of functioning levels. No one is turned away due to their inability to pay for services at SHARE.
SHARE’s policy is that children and adults of all ages are eligible for service without discrimination on the basis of race, religion, creed, age, or sex.

This Month's Featured Program: Speech TherapySHARE’s speech therapists hold licensure by the State of Georgia and are certified by the Professional Board of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. SHARE is a certified Medicaid, Medicare, Peach State and most insurance company providers as well as private pay.
The main goal of speech therapy is to improve skills that will allow a person to communicate more effectively. Some other goals might include:
Each person will have a different outcome of speech therapy depending on his or her particular abilities. The length of time in speech therapy depends on many factors such as severity of the problem, the frequency and consistency of therapy and the consistency of help at home. For clients to have the most positive outcome; it involves teamwork with the client, family and therapist. Daily home exercises are mandatory for great success in strengthening of speech muscles which include the vocal cords, larynx, tongue and the throat.

SHARE Your Love at Christmas!
Our 2024 Christmas Ornament has arrived. This year we honored St. Mark's Episcopal church. This is our annual fundraiser, and we are selling each ornament for $18 each. St. Mark's Episcopal church was established in 1868 in Brunswick, Georgia at 1900 Gloucester Street. It serves as a beautiful example of architecture in the city's Historic District. In 1892-93, a belltower, nave "sanctuary" and chancel "choir" section were added to the original church building. The hurricane of 1896 heavily damaged the original wooden structure. Following reconstruction and expansion, the first services in the new church building were held in December 1915. At the dedication, the Brunswick News reported " the new St. Mark's is pronounced by those who are specialists along ecclesiastical lines to be one of the most correct and best-appointed churches in the South". By the 1980's. The then 70-year-old sanctuary was in significant need of repair and the Rev. Jessee "Buzz" Yarborough led St. Mark's through an extensive decade of renovation and restoration which would eventually result in over $500,000 invested in one of Brunswick's most historic buildings. St. Mark's has been an impact for good in Glynn County for more than 150 years. See past ornaments here |
