Appointments
The clinic treatment programs start at the beginning of the fall, spring, and summer semesters. However, referrals are accepted throughout the year. Most therapy is scheduled one to two times per week, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Scheduling is dependent on clinical training needs and hours of availability.
Fees
The clinic bills minimal fees to help offset the cost of materials and equipment. There is a one-session cost for evaluations. Therapy fees are for the clinic term, not per session. There is a sliding fee scale based on the federal poverty guidelines for those experiencing financial hardship.
Parkinson’s Voice Project
The Clinic has received a grant from the Parkinson’s Voice Project. All clinical supervisors as well as 90% of our second-year students have completed the SPEAK OUT!® and LOUD Crowd® online training.
This unique grant program aims to make quality speech treatment accessible to people with Parkinson’s across the globe. Grant sites receive free SPEAK OUT®, LOUD Crowd®, and Teletherapy training for their speech-language pathologists and graduate students, as well as speech therapy supplies and funding for their LOUD Crowd® groups.
Clients are first required to have an evaluation by an otolaryngologist. Clients are seen one to two times per week for individual and/or group therapy.
