Speech-Language Clinic Information

About the Speech-Language Clinic

The Nevada State Speech-Language Pathology Clinic offers speech-language therapy services at two locations. The NS Speech-Language Clinic is located on the Nevada State campus and is housed in the Christiansen Education Building. The NS Speech-Language RiteCare Clinic is located in the center of Las Vegas in the Scottish Rite building.

The Nevada State Speech-Language/RiteCare Clinics are specialized facilities dedicated to diagnosing and treating communication disorders and difficulties related to speech, language, voice, fluency, cognition, and swallowing. Our clinics offer comprehensive assessments that evaluate an individual’s communication abilities and identify any impairments or delays. Treatment plans are then tailored to address specific needs, which may include speech therapy exercises, language intervention, voice therapy techniques, or swallowing therapy. Additionally, the NS Speech-Language/RiteCare Clinics often provides counseling and support for individuals and their families to help them better understand and cope with their communication challenges.

Our clinics are training sites for future speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Services are generally provided by graduate speech-language pathology students and supervised by clinical faculty members. All supervisors hold a master’s or doctoral degree in speech-language pathology, the Certificate of Clinical Competence of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and are licensed by the Nevada Board of Speech Pathology and Audiology.
