| June 19, 2001 - Stroke victims on Long Island have an exceptional
resource at their disposal: low cost speech and hearing services
including evaluations and therapy. The C.W. Post Campus of Long
Island University is a training center for Speech-Language Pathologists
and Audiologists through its School of Education Department
of Communication Sciences and Disorders. In addition to addressing
the communications problems of individuals who have had a stroke,
the center also treats adults and children with other speech
and hearing problems including hearing loss, cognitive communication
disorders, phonological delay or disorders, stuttering and language
learning disabilities.
The J.M. Ladge Communication Sciences and Disorders Center
on the C.W. Post Campus offers these services at cost - approximately
one-third of the customary clinical fees - and has day and
evening hours year-round. In addition, there are significant
discounts for students and senior citizens. Services are provided
by students in clinical training, and every student is supervised
by a clinical faculty speech-language pathologist or audiologist,
each of whom is certified by the American Speech-Language
Hearing Association (ASHA) and licensed by the State of New
York.
For more information, please call the C.W. Post J.M. Ladge
Communication Sciences and Disorders Center at (516) 299-2437.
