Eligibility for Services
All prospective clients are required to participate in an evaluation at the ˜·Í¸²Ê Speech and Hearing Clinic, even if they have been previously evaluated elsewhere. Once an evaluation is completed, the student-faculty diagnostic team will determine if therapy at ˜·Í¸²ÊSHC is appropriate. If therapy is recommended, additional information about scheduling those services will be provided at that time.
Because of our student-based delivery of services and restrictions resulting from Medicare guidelines, Medicare recipients are not eligible for individual speech-language therapy through the ˜·Í¸²ÊSHC. Alternative models of service delivery are often available, however, as described under specialized programs.
Standard clinic policy regarding the continuation of services is as follows:
- Therapy will be provided for successive semesters until it is determined there is no longer a need for services and/or
- Therapy will be provided until it is determined that a client will no longer benefit from services at ˜·Í¸²ÊSHC and/or
- Therapy will be discontinued following 8 semesters of individual therapy services.
