Communication and swallowing are vital to life. Speech-language pathologists can help you or a loved one reach full potential.
Mission Statement
The mission of the IUP Speech-Language and Hearing Clinic is to provide the highest quality services in collaboration with community providers. Faculty supervisors support students as they translate evidenced-based knowledge into clinical practice while also ensuring that patient care is culturally and linguistically sensitive. We align the mission and goals of our clinic with the IUP Speech-Language Pathology Program mission and vision, the university's strategic plan, and the American Speech, Language, and Hearing Association's code of ethics.
