Complete audiologic evaluations are available. Therapy is conducted in rooms that are observable via a closed circuit system. Families of clients are encouraged to observe therapy so that they may better help the clients at home.
Clients at the clinic include members of the community, children attending the Mekeel Child Care Center, and students and employees of the university. Both evaluation and therapy are free with the exception of auditory process testing. Anyone interested in clinic services should contact the clinic director at 570-422-3247.
