CLINIC STUDIES SPEECH PROBLEMS

v. hei e el-e for that matter, was
1 ...her a surprise to your Emerald
reporter on his first flying trip to
| cover the speech department.
Since those long ago days at the
I beginning of the term he has had
! time to uncover the reasons for
■ said children in Villard and in the
process learn much of the inter
| esting work now being done by
! the University’s speech and hear
1 ir.g clinic.
The clinic was set up about 12
years ago to offer student training
in speech correction work while at
the same time presenting facilities
for the rehabilitation of children
with speech handicaps. It has also
i provided situations and opportuni
ties for graduate and professional
research in this field.
Onh Training Clinic
Kenneth S. Wood, associate pro
fessor of speech and director of the
clinic for nine years, has contrib
uted much to the development of
the clinic as part of Ur- University
speech department. It is the only
training clinic in speech correc
tions in the state under full-time
operation, Wood said.
There are 25 to 30 children
ranging from three to sixteen
years of age now ilnder the guid
ance of the rehabilitation program.
Problems studied and corrected by
the 21 students working in the
clinic include cleft palates, paraly
sis. emotional disturbances, stut
tering, delayed speech development
and haicl of healing as they affect
the speaking abilities of the pa
tients.
The clinic works in cooperation
with the crippled child division of
the University's medical school and
'he state department of education.
Separate rehabilitation centers for
the cleft palate and stutterers have
been set up in conjunction with the
medical school.
Excellent Training
The clinic has proven an excel
lent training opportunity for stu
dents interested in this field. Wood
said, lie also pointed out that the
field of speech correction is rap
idly expanding and that all trained
graduates are easily placed.
The state of Oregon needs more
speech correctionists and the field
is wide open, he emphasized. Rome
graduate students have secured
jobs on a starting salary of $4,800.
lie estimated that there is a na
tional need for 20,000 more trained
workers.
'1 he typo of work done in the
clinic necessarily varies with the
problems of the children involved.
Useful methods now being em
ployed include lip reading, play
therapy and tests of tin* hearing
ability and the personality of the
individual child.
Present results of the work be
ing done in th<* clinic are very sat
isfactory, Wood reported. Improve
ment or elimination of the handi
caps suffered by the children are
quite rapid under the extensive
guidance program.
