The Speech and Hearing Program at CSU includes a Master’s level degree in Speech-Language Pathology and an undergraduate program in Speech and Hearing. The program houses the Speech and Hearing Clinic on campus which provides comprehensive diagnostic, intervention and prevention services for people of all ages, covering a wide range of communication disorders. This professional field helps people to re-connect or connect with other human beings by giving them the tools to communicate with others.
Our graduate and undergraduate students are directly involved with helping people in the community who need help expressing their thoughts and ideas, or who have developed difficulty with swallowing. Many of our clients have diagnoses such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, hearing loss, autism and other diagnoses that interfere with their ability to communicate. No one is turned away from our clinic due to the inability to pay.
We also have many service learning initiatives that allow us to serve families in homeless shelters and to senior citizens in day programs.
We need your help to continue to remain active in outreach to the community. Your gift today will help us to continue to serve seniors in the community who are at risk for experiencing cognitive decline which further isolate them from society. Your gift will also allow us to continue to provide training to teen Moms to facilitate language learning and prevent problems with literacy development in their young children.
Please help us to engage 50 donors to help us make a positive difference in the lives of our students and the people we serve.
