SLHS Community Service and Engagement

Butler students are committed to community service and multiple opportunities exist on our campus, in downtown Indianapolis, and beyond. Service-minded students excel in our program and make our campus, cities, and state better!

SLHS COMMUNITY SERVICE

• SLHS students can be actively engaged in giving back to our community through our clinical practicum experiences in which they gain real life knowledge while helping those who can benefit from our skills and services.

COMMUNITY OPPORTUNITIES

• The Butler Aphasia Community provides support using the Life Participation Approach to Aphasia. Those with communication challenges meet weekly with supervised students to stimulate language skills; this is a unique opportunity for the undergraduate student to learn about working with adults.

COMMUNITY OBSERVATIONS

• Students have an opportunity to observe professionals in a variety of settings around the Indianapolis community from area schools to hospitals to private practice clinics.  This affords students early in their college journey to learn more about the professions of speech-language pathology and audiology from active professionals in the community.
