The meeting is open to the general public and students of the program. “We are especially interested in hearing from individuals or family members who have received speech or language therapy at the clinic,” said Doug McColl, director of CMSD. “Individuals who have received services from the clinic can give us specific and useful information about how they have benefited and how the program can be improved.”
Re-accreditation with the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is the hallmark of quality CMSD programs across the country said McColl. The program has been accredited with ASHA since 1984.
Parking is available in the visitor parking area located at Chestnut and West Second Street by vending machine permit.
