Speech, Language, and Hearing Services at UT Austin
Specialized AAC, speech, language, and hearing services for the greater Austin community are available at the UT Austin Speech and Hearing Center (SHC). At the SHC, graduate clinicians provide services for communication disorders related to aphasia, developmental language disorders, hearing impairment, head injury, laryngectomy, cerebral palsy, learning disability, autism, cleft palate, stuttering, and other communicative anomalies. We also conduct speech and language assessments, hearing screenings, and full audiological evaluations. The SHC is located on the 2nd floor of the Jesse H. Jones building at Moody College, UT Austin.
