Interested in being screened?
If you are having trouble eating, drinking, or communicating, or you are a caregiver seeking next steps for a loved one, CommUnity Screen is here to help increase access to speech-language pathology services. At our screening events, graduate student clinicians, working under the supervision of licensed professionals, offer free and confidential screenings for anyone in need.
What screenings may cover
For children, teens, and adults, screenings may focus on:
- Speech clarity (articulation)
- Language understanding and expression
- Feeding or swallowing concerns
- Basic hearing checks
- Changes in voice
- Cognitive changes affecting memory and communication
Why get screened?
A screening can detect if there is something you or your loved one might want to look into further. It allows for earlier detection of potential issues, which can lead to earlier interventions and the best possible outcomes. Please note that screenings are not in-depth evaluations that provide detailed results or a diagnosis. However, we can provide referrals for local providers who are ready to help you take those next steps, if needed.
Our screenings are about more than detection. They are about connection, empowerment, and building healthier communities through knowledge and access. Screenings are brief, supportive, and confidential. If something comes up, we will help you take the next step, whether that means at-home strategies or a referral to a trusted local provider.
What to expect
CommUnity Screen offers events designed for a wide range of people who could benefit from speech-language pathology services. To help as many people as possible attend, events are primarily held on weekends. If an event you signed up for is canceled or postponed, we will offer a similar event at a future date, so you still get the access you need.
How to get screened
- Look at our upcoming events and see if you, or a loved one, could benefit from a screening or even just some education.
- Fill out the online paperwork that we send you in a pre-screening event pack.
- Attend a CommUnity Screen event.
- At the end of your screening, we will explain your results and guide you through the steps for further evaluation, if needed.
