Helping Persons of All Ages Speak and Hear

Programs in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders train speech-language pathologists in a nationally accredited program and offer students active learning through the on-campus Speech-Language and Hearing Clinic.

Our high quality, comprehensive clinic services in speech-language pathology and audiology have been a community asset for nearly 70 years. Students receive hands-on training by working in the clinic and have opportunities for community engagement.

We are extremely proud to operate a community clinic with diagnostic and therapy services in speech-language pathology and audiology for children and adults.

Success Story with Katelyn Dietrich '21

Katelyn Dietrich, a 2021 graduate of the Communication Sciences and Disorders master's program, was awarded the 2021 St. Cloud State University Distinguished Thesis Award! Her topic was, "Dynamic Assessment with Bilingual (Somali/English) Children: Implications for Improving Accuracy of Identification for Language and Reading Disorders". 

"Competing a thesis was the best decision for me. It provided an opportunity to make connections with a local school, collect data in-person, and share findings with professionals across related fields. All of this was done on a flexible schedule and with strong support and guidance from my thesis committee. Along the way, I developed a deeper understanding and appreciation for the research process and its "real world" implications."  -Katelyn Dietrich
