Speech and Hearing Centers

The University of Rhode Island Speech and Hearing Centers provide comprehensive clinical services, both at the Kingston campus and our Pawtucket facility. These centers offer a broad range of speech-language and hearing services to clients of all ages. Those accepted for diagnostic and/or therapy services receive treatment from qualified professionals, with the assistance of trained graduate students in speech-language pathology and audiology.

Services include (but are not limited to) diagnostic hearing tests, hearing aid evaluations and dispensation; aural rehabilitation; assessment of and treatment for voice, articulation, fluency, and language disorders; communication and cognitive therapy for adults with neurological disorders resulting from strokes or traumatic brain injuries; and programs to improve fluency for ESL clients.

Elizabeth Connors, Director of Clinical Services, and the teaching faculty within the CMD Department are routinely involved in clinic supervision and research. Students enrolled in their senior year clinical methods course have opportunities to observe graduate students and faculty providing therapeutic and diagnostic sessions in both speech-language pathology and audiology. Speech and Hearing Center clients or their guardians sign a release indicating consent to being observed by qualified practicum students and, in some instances, for therapy sessions to be used for classroom instruction purposes via audio/video tapes.

Modest fees for clinical services are generally reduced for members of the URI Community and are adjusted for others consistent with ability to pay.
