MTSU’s Speech Clinic Is Changing Lives While Training Future Therapists

The MTSU Speech, Language, and Hearing Clinic has been serving Middle Tennessee families since 1967, providing affordable speech, language, and hearing evaluations and therapy for children and adults.

What makes the clinic unique is that undergraduate students gain hands-on clinical experience by working directly with clients under the supervision of licensed speech-language pathologists and audiologists. MTSU is one of only a handful of universities in the nation that offers this level of real-world experience before graduate school.

For families, the clinic provides high-quality care at an affordable cost, often for less than the price of an insurance co-pay. For students, it's an opportunity to develop the skills they'll use throughout their careers while making a meaningful impact in the community.

In this video, we take a closer look at how the clinic is helping families across Middle Tennessee while preparing the next generation of speech, language, and hearing professionals.
