Clinical Experiences

---

At the graduate level, students begin providing direct services to clients under the supervision of a licensed and certified speech-language pathologist. Typically, a graduate student will have his or her first client experience on-campus in the Maryville University Speech and Language Clinic. Depending upon student skills and client availability, additional practicum experiences may include the Walker Scottish Rite Clinic for Childhood Language Disorders, also housed in Walker Hall, or with a variety of medical and educational partners in the community. In every case, graduate student clinicians will be closely supervised by ASHA certified speech-language pathologists.
