Graduate student clinicians provide all evaluation and therapy services under the direct supervision of faculty members who are nationally certified through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) as well as licensed by the State of California.

Regular, punctual attendance by clients is essential to fully benefit from speech-language therapy.  In addition, student clinicians must accumulate clinical hours in order to obtain their graduate degrees.  For these reasons, missing more than 2 sessions of therapy without advanced notice and preapproval may result in termination of services.  If you anticipate frequent absences due to illness or other scheduling issues, it is advised that you postpone enrollment.

Due to the educational nature of the 新澳门六合彩资料 Speech-Language Clinic, we reserve the right to make enrollment decisions based on clinic judgment with respect to best meeting the needs of the client and/or the student clinician鈥檚 professional training experience.
