During Dr. Bitetti’s summer diagnostics course, graduate students run full evaluations in supervised teams. We are currently accepting clients (of all ages) who are interested in receiving a speech and language evaluation this summer for themselves or a family member. We have immediate openings on June 2nd and June 4th!

Our university clinic is free, and the evaluation would be completed at no cost. Also, as part of the class, graduate students generate a full evaluation report.

Abby and Haylie are La Salle SLPs!

La Salle senior Abby Griswold, ‘26, has brought the University’s mission into every space she’s entered. When asked to define “The La Salle spirit,” Abby said:

✨ “The La Salle spirit has woven its way into nearly every area of my life. It is a spirit of community, of service, and of a deep-seated faith. This spirit… has been firmly planted in the depths of my heart and will surely follow me beyond Olney into wherever I end up next.” ✨

Through Mission and Ministry, Abby lives this spirit daily singing in the Chapel Choir and co-leading Christian Fellowship alongside Haylie Doan, ’26. If you haven’t gotten the chance to hear Abby sing, your chance is coming up soon. Abby, alongside Dang Nguyen, ‘26, will be performing the National Anthem at this year’s undergraduate commencement ceremony on May 9 at 10 a.m.

Lat night, the second year graduate students in Dr. Mancinelli's fluency course had their annual discussion with a panel of National Stuttering Association support group members. The panel fields questions from different teams of students, and the students gain a better understanding of the lived experiences of people who stutter.
