Externship
The University of Houston's Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders boasts an extraordinary externship program that may be the finest of its kind in a single metropolitan area. Our program offers a student extern a choice from among FORTY-SIX different sites, each of which is staffed by one or more well-qualified professionals who holds the Certificate of Clinical Competence as awarded by ASHA.
The sites are grouped as follows:
- Facilities, other than public schools, where school-age children are served.
- Facilities that specialize in service delivery to children in the birth to age-3 range. These are often referred to as sites that specialize in "early childhood intervention."
- Public school settings that involve eleven different districts in the greater Houston area, all of which are available during either the fall or spring term.
- Facilities that specialize in either the acute or long-term care of adult patients.
