Clinic Overview and Training Mission

The California State University Fullerton (CSUF) Speech and Hearing Clinic has two primary missions. The first is to educate and train future speech-language and hearing professionals. They are provided with the knowledge, skills and clinical experience to become certified and licensed speech language pathologists and audiologists. We prepare them for the complex and changing demands of the 21st century. The other mission is to provide high quality clinical services to individuals with communication disorders and needs within our surrounding community in the following two clinics.

Child Clinic provides services to children ages 0-18 years.
Adult Clinic provides services to clients ages 18 years and older.

Procedures for Enrolling as a Potential Client

If you are interested in receiving speech-language therapy, instruction Procedures for Enrolling as a Potential Clientand/or diagnostic testing in one of our clinic, the first step of the processis to call our clinic during normal business hours as listed on our website to talk with one of our clinic assistants. You can also leave a voice-mail message or send an email message and oneof our assistants will be back in touch with you at their earliest convenience.

Although it is our goal to accommodate as many clients as possible, given the large demand for our services and the primary training needs of our students which can vary from semester to semester, it is not always possible for us to see everyone who calls to enroll as a potential client. In addition, it can take up to a year or slightly longer for clients to be selected for possible services. For that reason, when you do call, you will be provided with a referral list to other clinics and speech-language-hearing support services that may be able to accommodate your request more immediately or serve as back-up options.

How We Select Clients for Our Clinics

Each clinic has different training criteria for selecting clients but in general, factors such as the following are examples of considerations taken into account by clinic supervisors and coordinators who select clients for each new semester:

date of initial contact and length of time on our potential client list,
the type of communication disorder or need and the extent to which that disorder/need meets current student training needs,
the range of needs and disorders already being served by our clinics (we are required by our national professional association to provide students with a wide variety and diversity of client populations in terms of factors such as disorder, age, language exposure, developmental status.
appropriateness of the client given the level of student training, knowledge and skill, and
clinic space availability. If you wish to know more about the process for selecting clients, you can contact us by phone or email and ask to speak to one of our clinic coordinators or directors for more information and background on how client decisions are made. We will get back to you at our earliest convenience.
