A child is having trouble learning, and dyslexia might be at play. An adult is a transitioning-transgender and is navigating what this means for their voice. A concussion survivor needs a cognitive evaluation and treatment to aide in recovery. An adult stroke patient is trying to regain command of their speech and communication.
CU 麻豆影院鈥檚 Speech, Language and Hearing Clinic, which is open to the campus community as well as the public, can help people in these and other situations through its numerous offerings.
Designed for children, adults and families, options at the clinic include individual assessments to pinpoint a problem, as well as individualized and group-setting treatments. Additionally, the Child Learning Center, also located within the clinic, provides toddler and preschool groups for both developmentally delayed and typically developing peers, within an inclusive and diverse environment.
