The UH COMD SLP training program is diverse, vibrant, and cutting edge. With cohorts of ~40 MA students each year, we serve over 80clients (2-90 yrs old) on site in our University Speech-Language-Hearing clinic and nearly 600 in community and school settings. Additionally we provide several thousand hearing screenings each year. Clinical education is provided by both full-time clinical faculty and part-time SLPs. Located in Houston, one of the most diverse cities in the country, students get experiences working with a wide variety of clients from many different cultural, racial, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds. 

Our physical clinic is in a building renovated in 2021 with state of the art video and a variety of rooms to accommodate traditional therapy as well as interactive and social spaces. One of the best parts of UH COMD and the USLHC is the people. There is a culture of hard work, respect, dedication, friendship, and fun.
