The MU Speech and Hearing Clinic, located on the campus of the University of Missouri-Columbia, was established in 1938. This teaching clinic, which provides a full range of clinical services to individuals with communication disorders, is housed within the Department of Communication Science and Disorders (CSD). The CSD academic program, a vital resource for the MU Speech and Hearing Clinic, is accredited by the Council of Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
Under supervision of certified, licensed faculty, graduate students in the CSD Department serve as clinicians in the MU Speech and Hearing Clinic. The MU Speech and Hearing Clinic offers services in speech, language, and hearing to children and adults in the mid-Missouri area. Screening, diagnosis, and therapy services are provided.
