言语及语言临床服务
The HSUSLC is focused on providing exceptional services by integrating evidence-based practice and current research into both assessments and treatments for populations with a variety of impairments, including:
An assessment is necessary for each new client and will be completed by a graduate student clinician under the direct supervision of a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist. The purpose of the assessment/evaluation is to identify both communication strengths and challenges to then determine appropriate treatment options. The assessment typically begins with an in-depth interview with the client and family which enables our experts to develop an understanding of the communication abilities and concerns. 评估可包括以意见形式提出的正式和非正式措施, standardized tests, and questionnaires. Following the assessment, a second appointment will be made in which the results and recommendations will be reviewed with the client and family.

Be patient and understanding with your family member as he/she progresses through the program.
