Our Clinic is committed to clinical excellence & utilizes several evidence-based practice techniques. We have consistently provided services for SPEAK OUT! Therapy since 2018. The clinic recently obtained equipment that can be used for assessment, treatment, & research. Positive biofeedback motivates clients to do more exercise repetitions.
Andrews University is the second most diverse campus in the US. Our graduate student population is consistently composed of students from across the country and around the world. We regularly have national and international speech-language pathologist specialists in voice and swallowing attend our group sessions and provide information for our group members.
