What this is, in plain language

The CSULB Speech and Language Clinic is a university teaching clinic where graduate student clinicians, supervised by ASHA-certified, state-licensed faculty, provide free speech, language and communication evaluation and therapy — including support for children and teens whose social communication is affected by autism.

Getting started

Complete the online clinic application once; the clinic office contacts you when an opening matches your needs, with enrolment tied to the fall, spring and summer semesters, and clients not placed immediately go on a waitlist. Questions can go to SLP.clinic@csulb.edu or (562) 985-4583.

Written from what the provider publishes, to save you decoding it. It describes the service; it is not our view of how good it is.

What they say about themselves

Taken from the provider's own website. We have not verified the claims — the parent reviews below are the other half of the picture.

  • A campus teaching clinic where graduate student clinicians provide diagnostic and therapy services under the direct supervision of ASHA-certified, state-licensed faculty.
  • States it serves children and adolescents who struggle with social communication because of autism spectrum disorders, among other speech, language and communication needs.
  • Services are free of charge and enrolment does not depend on ability to pay; suggested donations are optional ($125 for an assessment, $300 for a semester of therapy).
  • Enrols by online application on a first-come, first-served basis for fall, spring and summer sessions; missing more than two sessions without notice and preapproval can end services.
