SLHS Experiential/Clinical Opportunities
Our program is one of only a few undergraduate programs that offers our students clinical practicum experience. These students gain valuable foundational skills that help them to have a strong start to their graduate school training. Students provide supervised clinical services or therapy to people in our community via our on-campus Speech-Language clinic, our Community Preschool Screening Program, our Audiology Clinic, our Butler Early Language and Literacy Preschool Program (BELL), and our Butler Aphasia Community. In addition, students have an opportunity to observe professionals in a variety of settings around the Indianapolis community from schools, to hospitals, to private practice clinics.

The Butler Early Language and Literacy (BELL) program provides a language-enriched environment for preschool children with speech and language delays. BELL offers treatment to strengthen oral communication and develop early literacy skills so that children can thrive and succeed in kindergarten. BELL maintains low enrollment numbers to allow for individualized attention. Children receive instruction from a licensed speech-language pathologist, a preschool teacher, and students in the Butler Communication Sciences and Disorders Department.
