Diagnostics Clinic

The Diagnostics Clinic is offered to members of the community of all ages, free of charge.  This clinic consists of a comprehensive assessment of speech/language, fluency disorders, voice disorders as well as a variety of other communication issues. The assessment is conducted by, either, graduate clinicians OR undergraduate Communicative Sciences and Deaf Studies students under the direct supervision of a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist.  If treatment is recommended following the assessment, the client will be added to top of the waitlist for treatment in the clinic.
