    Susan Rogers Miller -- as a speech and language pathologist in public schools and non-
profit clinics and, currently, in private practice -- has always used games in her therapy
regimen.  As a citizen and a clinician, she’s always been concerned with environmental protection and the threat toxins pose to children.  So developing a line of sustainable, non-toxic, “green” speech therapy games was a natural step for her.
   
    Susan’s company, Green Ladder Games, Inc., which introduces its first line of products on Earth Day -- April 22, 2010 -- manufactures therapy tools from 100% biodegradable,
non-toxic materials and does so in an eco-friendly family environment.  Working with her daughter Mary Chessmar (a graphic designer and writer of children’s literature), her husband Michael Miller (a film editor) and her father (retired aerospace engineer Kenny Rogers), Susan makes games that she designs herself, using wood, re-cycled paper and cardboard, and water-based paints and coatings.  She works with low impact technology and manual tools.
   
    “Most commercially-produced games contain plastic parts, packaging or coating,” says Green Ladder’s founder.  “Plastic is toxic, petroleum-based and non-biodgradable.  Our games are safe for children as well as the environment.  And,” she adds, “they’re effective and fun.”
   
    For the past year, Susan has tested product prototypes in her private practice in Southern California.  Clients have responded well theraputically, and often ask to play the games just because they're fun.

    Green Ladder Games products, available on of April 22, 2010 (Earth Day), include HONEY BUZZ (a colorful board game using bee magnet wands, targeting articulation and use of prepositions), LUCKY SUN BINGO (a bingo-style game targeting the most common articulation errors) and COLOR  CLIP BINGO (a bingo game designed for versatility, using brightly painted wooden clips to help develop articulation and language development).  The games are affordably priced from $22.99 to $49.99.
   
    Financing for Green Ladder Games was entirely out-of-pocket by Susan Rogers Miller.  Consequently, the business gets underway with no debt to creditors.  Susan attended conferences on start-up companies and read extensively about the subject before founding the enterprise.

    In the 1980’s, when her children were small, she created and ran Black Rabbit Workshop, a small company which used wood and other natural materials to make fun, hands-on activities that explored a number of educational concepts, including the color wheel, musical notation and number values.  Black Rabbit Workshop was closed, reluctantly, when Susan entered graduate school to become a speech and language therapist.  But its spirit continues to inspire Susan’s exciting new business.

    Green Ladder Games has a website -- greenladdergames.com -- designed by
Mary Chessmar.  The company can be contacted, as the website points out, in
“green” ways:  by email-ing postmaster@greenladergames.com and by phoning
(323) 202-3286.  Its location is 6310 San Vicente Boulevard, Suite 402, Los
Angeles, CA 90048.
