The USC Speech and Hearing Research Center provides a
variety of evaluation and treatment programs for
individuals of all ages. The evaluation process aims to
identify and describe areas of strength and weakness
related to articulation, language, voice, hearing and
fluency as well those factors that prevent or facilitate
effective communication in everyday life. Treatment
programs are based on needs identified during the
evaluation, by capitalizing on an individual’s strengths
and reducing barriers to effective communication.
Individual and/or group programming may be recommended
and family/parent involvement is strongly encouraged
throughout the treatment process. Therapy is carried out
under the direction of certified speech-language
pathologists and audiologists and involves
graduate-level clinical teaching and research.
Individuals participating in services at the Center may
be asked to participate in research at any time during
their treatment.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to provide individuals with communication
disorders the highest quality and most effective
evaluation and treatment in order to improve social,
educational and vocational participation.
