Children of all ages may receive diagnostic and therapy services through the center operated by the CSD Department at the University of Montevallo. Children can participate in the therapy program at the center according to their individualized needs. However, because the University of Montevallo Speech and Hearing Center is a training facility, the number of clients is restricted depending on the number of graduate clinicians and their training needs. Some children may benefit from "after school" treatment services while participating in their regular academic programs in public or private schools. Families with preschool children may need services such as those offered in our clinic. Children may be seen several times per week for group and/or individual therapy. Extensive diagnostic services are also available for a variety of communication disorders. There is a nominal fee for services, but families may request that services be donated if payment presents a financial hardship.  To request an evaluation or services families or referring professionals should call the Center at (205)665-6720 or fill out the Request for Services Form  and either fax or mail the form to the University of Montevallo Speech and Hearing Center, Station 6720, Montevallo, AL 35115.
