ABOUT
THE CLINIC
The Eastern Kentucky University
Speech & Hearing Clinic is a non-profit clinic which has been accredited
by the Professional Services Board of the American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association since 1984.
The EKU Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic
has three major functions:
1. To provide comprehensive clinical services for persons of
all ages with communication problems,
2. To continue investigation and research on the nature and
management of communication problems, and
3. To offer ongoing clinical instruction to students in
speech-language pathology and audiology.
To enable our students to fulfill their clinical practicum requirements, the majority of diagnostic and therapeutic service provided at this facility is provided by senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students. Student clinicians are fully prepared for therapy and work under the direct guidance of experienced faculty supervisors who hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) in speech-language pathology or audiology from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
Our services are available to members of the university community as well as individuals from the community at large. Self-referrals are accepted, as are referrals from parents, schools, physicians, and others. Services are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to children and adults. We are unable to bill insurance for the services provided; cash payment is expected. However, we will gladly provide documentation to enable individuals to seek reimbursement from their insurance.
