Speech and Language Clinic

每个新客户都需要进行评估，评估将由研究生临床医生在有执照和认证的语言病理学家的直接监督下完成. 评估的目的是确定沟通优势和挑战，然后确定适当的治疗方案. 评估通常从与客户及其家人的深入访谈开始，这使我们的专家能够了解沟通能力和关注的问题. The assessment may include formal and informal measures in the form of observations, standardized tests, and questionnaires. Following the assessment, 第二次预约将与客户及其家属一起审查结果和建议.

Please arrive at your first appointment 15 minutes early to complete additional paperwork.

当临床医生收集有关具体问题的信息时，家庭成员可能是评估过程的一部分. When the focus of the assessment moves to identification of the client’s abilities, family members may observe from the observational room. Please note that parents/caregivers must remain on site during the assessment process.

After the assessment

Following the assessment, a second appointment will be necessary. During this second appointment, 您的临床医生将审查评估的结果和建议，并将向您提供书面报告.  You may schedule your second appointment on the day of assessment, 或者您可以选择等待，让我们在报告完成后打电话安排这次约会. Please allow up to ten days for the clinician to generate the report.

Schedule

The HSUSLC follows the University’s academic calendar, providing speech and language services year-round during three semesters (i.e., fall, spring, and summer). The frequency of treatment sessions will be determined on an individual basis. Typically, 需要继续服务超过一个学期的客户每学期被分配给一个新的临床医生. 这使客户能够提高他们在各种情况下推广新技能的能力，并为我们的临床医生学生提供不同的经验.

Observation

Family members are welcome to observe treatment sessions from the observational room. Please be courteous to others by keeping noise to a minimum in the observational room. 还请注意，家长/看护人在孩子的治疗期间必须留在现场.

Canceling an appointment

If you need to cancel your appointment for any reason, 请尽快致电(325)670-1014或发送信息至 slp@963359.com. Thank you for your consideration in keeping your appointments.

How to help your family member

有家庭参与语言干预过程的患者通常比那些没有家庭支持的患者进步更快. 询问你的家庭成员的临床医生，你可以在家里做些什么来帮助他们继承从诊所学到的技能. Remember that speech-language therapy can take a lot of time and effort. 在你的家庭成员完成这个项目的过程中，要有耐心和理解.
