Speech & Hearing Clinic
The major role of the Speech & Hearing Clinic is to introduce students to hands-on therapeutic techniques in speech-language pathology by providing a supervised learning experience that also services the community. Each student is expected to complete specified direct clock hours of observation, therapy, and evaluation under the direct supervision of licensed, certified members of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
The Speech & Hearing Clinic is a function of the Master of Science in Communication Sciences & Disorders (MCSD) program at ÒùÐÔÊÓƵ. The clinic has two major purposes:
- To serve as a training ground for students who are preparing to become speech-language pathologists
- To provide therapeutic and diagnostic services for children and adults with disorders of communication
Clinic Services
The services of ÒùÐÔÊÓƵ Speech & Hearing Clinic are of two kinds: evaluation of speech, language, and hearing; and rehabilitation for those who need such help.
Evaluations are conducted on an individual basis. As a result of the evaluation, a client may be enrolled in therapy, referred for additional testing, or referred to other resources.
Therapy sessions are performed by graduate students who work under the careful supervision of a speech-language pathologist or audiologist certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Clients are seen once or twice a week for individual 50 minute sessions.
How do I enroll?
Physicians, teachers, school administrators, nurses, parents, counselors, or the clients themselves may make referrals to the clinic.
Hours of operation, appointment scheduling, and other information may be obtained by calling 609-652-4920 or by email at speechclinic@stockton.edu.

Upon discovering that ÒùÐÔÊÓƵ’s program offered students access to the ÒùÐÔÊÓƵ Speech & Hearing Clinic as the location for one of their clinical practice, I felt complete relief. The faculty and staff of the clinic were encouraging and the atmosphere proved to be a comforting, yet challenging location to break the ice for my first clinical experience. Reflecting back on the program, I was extremely fortunate to have access to such a location to help make the transition from textbooks to fieldwork.
Knowing that I would be able to begin working on my clinical skills at the Speech & Hearing Clinic the first semester was a big factor in choosing to apply to ÒùÐÔÊÓƵ. The Speech & Hearing Clinic offers students a diverse pool of clientele to get experience with before you move onto off-campus externship placements.
The clinic staff and faculty have been especially helpful through my first year with all of the real world knowledge and confidence they have given me when I thought I was not ready for what was ahead.
