About UNC's Speech-Language Pathology Clinic

STAR is supported by the University of Northern Colorado Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Clinic. Graduate student clinicians help organize activities, lead discussion, and learn from the group members who live with aphasia.

Students plan topics that are meaningful to the group, such as community outings, music, travel, and technology. They listen, adapt, and practice communication strategies alongside group members. Everyone teaches and learns together.
