Norma S. and Ray R. Rees Speech Language and Hearing Clinic

The Rees Clinic provides services both IN-PERSON and via TELEPRACTICE.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at clinic@csueastbay.edu 

TELEPRACTICE: Telepractice is the use of live-streaming to provide speech therapy, linking clinicians to clients who are an appropriate fit for this model. Telepractice is shown to be as effective as in-person consultation. Clinicians must follow the same Code of Ethics and Scope of Practice in Speech-Language Pathology, as well as state and federal laws. To participate, clients should have a device with camera and microphone, and reliable internet access. Clients who are under the age of 18 must have an adult present. Adult clients who would benefit from guided support should also have another adult present to help.  See more HERE. 

How it works

All can apply for services; no referral is required. Please note as a training program, we schedule clients within our semester terms of fall, spring, and shortened, very limited, summer clinic. Clients are scheduled for evaluations according to graduate clinicians' training needs and then in the order they are recieved. We typically evaluate one term and if we're recommending treatment at our clinic, then clients are on the waiting list for the next term. As with evaluations, therapy clients are scheduled according to training clinicians' needs.
