Lauren Liria, assistant clinical professor and director of clinical education, says that “the goal is to help promote use of practices to support language and communication development in all students, but particularly those from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.”

The clinic will be open Monday through Friday during the fall, spring, and summer semesters.
