Free Screenings for Pediatric Language and Speech Sounds Disorders!

The Department of Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) at Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) is partnering with Center City Pediatrics to provide speech and language screenings. Screenings are available to children between the ages of birth and 21 years.

Speech and language screenings will be conducted by graduate students who are currently training in the SLP Master’s program. Each screening will be supervised 100% of the time by TJU faculty members who are fully licensed speech-language pathologists.

Upon completion of each child’s screening, there will be time allotted for family education on speech and language development, where graduate students and faculty would be happy to answer any questions and provide referral recommendations as necessary.

Everyone in the community is welcome to participate; you do not need to be a patient of Center City Pediatrics to join!

Advanced registration is required. No walk-ins can be accommodated at any time. Siblings must be registered individually. Reserve your space today: https://centercitypediatrics.com/class_calendar/
