Free speech and hearing clinic offered April 28
Free testing for hearing, speech-language and vision for all ages will be offered to the public on Saturday, April 28 from 9 a.m. until noon at SUNY Fredonia. In addition, testing for ambliopia (lazy-eye in children) will be offered to young children. Individuals and parents are encouraged to attend the free testing service if they have any concerns about their own or a family member’s speech-language, hearing or vision.
These screenings will be conducted by The Henry C. Youngerman Center for Communication Disorders, the Chautauqua Blind Association and by members of the Dunkirk-Fredonia Lions Club in honor of Better Speech and Hearing Month that is celebrated throughout May. This testing will take place on the first floor of Thompson Hall where the center is located.
The Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology and the Dunkirk-Fredonia Lion's Club jointly sponsor the free clinic. Clinical Supervisors and graduate student interns will be on staff to provide the testing.
A participant with many of the private health insurance companies, the Youngerman Center provides a full range of diagnostic and treatment services for people of all ages. The center also participates with Medicare for its Audiology services. It regularly provides hearing evaluations, hearing aid fittings and sales, speech-language, voice evaluations and therapy; augmentative evaluations for speech generating devices; central auditory processing evaluations and therapy; and a preschool group language enrichment program.
