Through his hard work and dedication, Dale has been able to redevelop functional communication skills. He is among the clients of the clinic who actively use assistive technology which includes a variety of devices such as portable computers with voice output to enhance their ability to communicate when there are physical obstacles to speech. Therapy is great. Dale is one of many clients who regularly attend therapy sessions at the Ewing Clinic. The clinic offers complete diagnostic and therapy services for communication disorders to the Ithaca College community for free, and to the general public for a reasonable fee.
Accent modification is another common goal for clients.
In addition to speech-language diagnostics and related therapy, the clinic which has been operating in some form since 1921 offers comprehensive audiological services. Services offered include hearing evaluations, hearing aid repair, industrial screenings, aural rehabilitation, and hearing conservation. Each semester 40 to 50 students juniors, seniors, and graduate students are engaged in clinical practicum experiences. IC students have a real advantage by working with clients in a clinical setting our programs are positive and comprehensive. We really reflect the mission of the College, doing community-based, collaborative work.
