ACU Speech-Language Pathology Program to Assist Language & Speech Skills (PALS) Are you concerned with your child’s language skills? Are they highly unintelligible (hard to understand) when speaking? Have you been advised to “wait and see” if they catch up to peers? The Communication Sciences & Disorders graduate program at ACU invites children ages 3-5 to participate in a special language enrichment program. Graduate clinicians in our ACU speech-language pathology Master’s program will complete a thorough evaluation of each child’s speech and language skills. Clinicians are under the direct supervision of ACU faculty members who are licensed, speech-language pathologists. The children will then participate in a 4-week treatment program, twice a week, to target areas of delay in both individual and group intervention settings led by the clinicians. Follow-up recommendations will be provided to families at the conclusion of the program. SEPTEMBER 3, 2021, DEADLINE TO ENROLL. Contact: Stephanie Fullerton x6670 smb04e for more information.
