Improving Communication for Life
Speak. Hear. Communicate.
Our son had a stutter when he was 3 years old, by kindergarten he was no longer stuttering and now at 6 he is thriving! Our experience at the SUNY Plattsburgh Speech and Hearing Clinic was life changing for us and our son and amazed every day of the changes he made with their help!
S.H.
Being a graduate clinician in support of our patients’ communication efforts is extremely rewarding. Each patient is one caring professional away from a success story.
