Free screenings for ages 0-5

We offer free speech, language, and hearing screenings at our NAU clinic for children ages 0-5. This is a great opportunity for parents that may have concerns about their child’s communication development. The screenings typically take about 30 minutes and assess the child’s communication skills.  At the conclusion of the screenings, we will discuss whether there is a need for further evaluation.  Appointments can be set-up by contacting the NAU Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic at 928-523-8110 or shclinic@nau.edu.
