About the Clinic

The University of Central Florida's Communication Disorders Clinic is a premiere institution providing cutting-edge diagnostics and services to people of all ages with communication and hearing challenges. Clients range from preschoolers to seniors and from those learning speech for the first time to those challenged by a loss of speech from disease.

The clinic is equipped with instrumentation for voice and resonance evaluations as well as for swallowing evaluations. A full audiological suite with instrumentation for diagnostic audiometry for children and adults and hearing aid evaluations is available. Service delivery models vary from once a week to intensive therapy for persons with aphasia (stroke survivors) or persons with fluency disorders (such as stuttering or cluttering). In addition, the clinic houses the Florida Alliance for Assistive Services and Technology. This demonstration center affords clients the opportunity to explore the use of low-to-high-tech devices to assist with communication and other cognitive issues.

Most importantly, the UCF Communication Disorders Clinic is proud to have nationally and internationally recognized clinical educators who are committed to teaching and training the next generation of speech and language pathologists.
