SLHS Community Service and Engagement

Butler students are committed to community service and multiple opportunities exist on our campus.  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.  The Butler Aphasia Community provides support using the Lifer 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. For the younger members of our community, we take students out to area preschools to complete speech, language, and hearing screenings—typically seeing 200-300 children each semester. SLHS students also join clubs that help individuals served by speech-language pathologists and audiologists, often raising funds and donating valuable time. Service-minded students excel in our program!
