Who should consider this language preschool?

If your child aged 3-5 has been diagnosed with a speech and/or language problem.

If you want your child to have preschool experience in a language rich environment.

If your child is developing normally and you want him/her to have social and learning experiences with a small group of children and many capable, energetic speech-language clinicians.

About the language preschool

The MU Department of Communication Science and Disorders with the generous support of the Scottish Rite has recently opened the Robert G. Combs Language Preschool.  This is a morning preschool program located in Clark Hall at the corner of Providence and Rollins roads.  This preschool will serve children aged 3 to 5 years with or without speech and language difficulties.  MU Communication Science and Disorders seniors and graduate students are clinicians for this preschool under the direct supervision of certified faculty.  Given the intense speech and language focus of this program, a very low clinician to student ratio is maintained, approximating 1 clinician for every 2-3 students.
