In 1914 the University of Wisconsin-Madison opened the first speech clinic in the country. Today we continue to create a world where people can communicate to the best of their abilities and lead fuller, more productive lives.
The UW Speech and Hearing Clinic (UWSHC) offers evaluation, treatment, and consultation services that are accessible, culturally responsive, and evidence-based, for children and adults with speech, language, hearing, and related communication needs.
The UWSHC is a teaching clinic where graduate student clinicians provide service under the guidance and supervision of state-licensed and nationally certified speech-language pathologists and audiologists.
The UWSHC supports equitable treatment of clients. No individual shall be discriminated against based upon race or ethnicity, nationality, religion, age, sex, gender identity, disability, or sexual orientation. As a patient or client at the UWSHC, you have certain basic rights and responsibilities. We provide all services in a manner consistent with the American Speech Language and Hearing Association Code of Ethics.
Although, we are affiliated with the UW Hospital and UW Health Clinics, we are not a satellite clinic, and therefore do not have direct access to their medical record or insurance information.

Testimonials
I’m so satisfied with my experiences here. Everyone has been so understanding and professional. My hearing aids have made such a difference in my life! Thank you so much for everything!
This was an amazing experience for both my child and myself. The staff in AAC supported every need or question we had and gave us good ideas and strategies for dealing with communication devices.
This experience was a very positive one for me (and my wife & friends). The service level was wonderful & professional. The student therapist & her supervisor have a terrific ‘customer service’ orientation that was a pleasure to work with.
I can not express my appreciation for being able to have this opportunity to develop my feminine voice with professional guidance. Because of the skill and understanding shown by my student therapist and her professor, I achieved a new level of confidence that I did not think was possible.
Thank you so much for fitting me with new hearing aids before my trip. In the 20 plus years that I have worn hearing aids, I don’t think I’ve ever experienced the quality of service I received at the Speech and Hearing Clinic. Thank you!
Thanks so much for accommodating our field trip with so many hands on activities! The students had fun and learned a lot. Thanks to your grad students, too. We really enjoyed the experience.
Thank you for all your exceptional care and kindness when you helped my father with his hearing aids. He is hearing much better which helped him enjoy his [100th] birthday party even more. You have touched our hearts. Thank you.
I am very happy with how professional the students were at all times around the kids. The way we were treated was so pleasant, and we felt respected as parents. We want to continue to work with the UWSHC, and would recommend your services to anyone needing this kind of treatment.
