The Center is located in Weiss Hall on the main campus and is open weekdays from 8:30 am – 6:30 pm.

Evaluations: Comprehensive speech and language evaluations and hearing screenings are available to clients of all ages in order to identify articulation, language, voice, and fluency disorders. Evaluations are scheduled in the mornings and may last from two to three hours.

Articulation Therapy: Clients of all ages are treated for disorders of articulation arising from delayed speech development, phonological problems, and neurological impairment. Treatment is also available for non-native speakers of English who wish to engage in accent reduction and for speakers of regional or cultural variations of Standard American English.

Language Therapy: Clients of all ages may be seen for this service, but it is primarily for children with delayed language and children or adults with language/learning disabilities.
