Generally, the more times and days during the week that the family has available to schedule the easier it is to schedule that client. However, you will be asked if someone referred you to our clinic and it is helpful for us to be able to communicate with referral sources. Children and adults of any age with any type of Communication Disorder are eligible for any of the services we provide. In addition, individuals who are medically fragile or who display behavioral problems that are beyond our students' capabilities may not find this environment suitable. Remember that the NMU Speech and Hearing Clinic is closed during all times that NMU is closed, such as NMU snow days, semester breaks, etc.
Regular attendance is vital for all concerned.
If your faculty supervisor has any concerns about attendance he or she will discuss them with you. My child will be attending therapy at the NMU Speech and Hearing Clinic. Siblings are welcome if they are able to entertain themselves or parents are able to keep them quiet and within the observation room. Young children often find the dark, quiet environment of the observation rooms boring and inadvertently make noise. In that case, we would like you to inform all places where you are receiving services that you are coming here as well and will ask you to sign releases so that we can coordinate our services with them and let them know how you are doing.
