The Center for Speech and Hearing provides a supportive learning environment for students studying communication disorders.

Communication is at the heart of everything we do. When communication is difficult, it can be isolating. Here at the Center for Speech and Hearing, we understand these challenges, and we are prepared to provide you with tools and supports to help you, or your loved one, achieve your communication goals. We provide comprehensive, high-quality services that are designed specifically for your family's needs. Our goal is for our clients to feel supported, competent, and confident in their communication journey.

In-person, telepractice, or hybrid service options are available.

The Center for Speech and Hearing is located on the main campus of Southeast Missouri State University and is affiliated with the Department of Communication Disorders.
