Frequently Asked Questions

Individuals concerned about speech, language, swallowing or hearing development and function are eligible for a comprehensive, individualized assessment.  Individuals diagnosed with disorders in speech, language, swallowing or cognitive function are eligible for treatment services.

Speech and Language Services: Assessment fees range from $90 to $200, depending on the type of evaluation necessary.  Fees for therapy services are $504 per semester during the Fall and Spring semesters.  Therapy is conducted 2 times per week for 45-50 minutes per visit.  Most sessions are individual (one:one), however, if the client can benefit from a supported group format, this is also available.

We also offer intensive summer programs, which are usually posted to our clinic main page sometimes around early April.  Related fees can be found there, or by calling the clinic.

Please, contact our clinic office at 512.716.2600.  for more information.

An individual must be at least seven years of age for this battery of tests.  Unfortunately, we cannot make exceptions to this guideline.

The Speech-Language-Hearing clinic accepts cash and check payments only.

Hearing aids maybe covered by Blue-Cross, Blue-Shield of Texas.  This will be determined on a case-by-case basis, and coverage is not guaranteed.

Payment plans or reduced fees can be arranged through the Clinic Director for clients/families that qualify.

Students, faculty and staff members are subject to the regular fee schedule, which is significantly reduced compared to traditional therapy providers in the community.

Assessments and treatment services are available in both English and Spanish.  If your child is bilingual, our bilingual assessment team will use a bilingual approach to assessment and intervention.  If your child speaks a language other than English or Spanish, please contact the clinic for further information.

No.  Any intervention, or therapy recommendations made after assessment can be sought by the practitioner of your choice.  Treatment services are available at the Texas State Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic, however, may not be available during the same semester the evaluation took place.

When admission to speech-language pathology and/or audiology services is not possible, other ways of securing the needed services and assistance are recommended.  Some alternatives to admission to the Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic are:

• referral to another agency or practice such as the public schools, a community center in the area from which the person lives, or speech-language pathologists and audiologists in private practice;
• referral to another treatment source, such as physicians, and other clinical practitioners (psychologists, developmental specialists, etc.)

We deal with multiple hearing aid vendors so repairs for aids that are or are not purchased from this clinic can be made.  Minimal repairs can be done in-house as well as hearing aid checks to diagnose hearing aid malfunction.  If your hearing aid requires major repair, we can send it back to the manufacturer.

There are many qualified and competent speech-language pathologists working in various settings in Central Texas.  The Round Rock clinic is, first and foremost, an institution of higher education that serves as a clinical training venue for graduate students earning a Master's Degree in Communication Disorders under the supervision and guidance of nationally certified and state licensed clinical supervisors.
