ENROLLMENT

In order to ensure the highest quality services, all new clients to the Center are requested to complete a questionnaire and submit pertinent records prior to being scheduled. All new clients to the Center will be evaluated prior to enrollment in therapy. In some instances, a recent speech or language evaluation from another agency is an acceptable alternative to the evaluation.

The Center enrolls clients for speech/language therapy according to the University calendar for the fall and spring semesters. Clients are selected on a first come, first served basis; however, the training needs of the student clinicians are also a consideration. Please call the Center for additional enrollment information at (916)278-6601. Referrals are not necessary.
