Fees

The OSU Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic is committed to providing quality speech, language and hearing services, regardless of your ability to pay. We accept SoonerCare payment with a referral from your primary care physician, and as a courtesy to our patients, will bill your insurance company. Please remember that you are responsible for any amount that your insurance company does not cover. If you do not have insurance and cannot afford the regular cost of services, we will be happy to apply a sliding scale that is based on income and the number in your family. Most patients enrolled in the clinic are seen for individual therapy. The number of therapy sessions per week, as well as the length of the sessions depends upon the severity of the communication disorder. Therapy sessions are usually scheduled one or two times weekly for 25 or 50 minute sessions.

SPEAK OUT!® and free SPEAK OUT!® maintenance group Programs—in-person and online.
 
We provide the SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program, developed by Parkinson Voice Project, which helps people with Parkinson's regain and retain their speech and swallowing. This evidence-based program combines ongoing education for the patient and family, individual and group speech therapy, daily home practice, and re-evaluations.

 

For those who have completed the SPEAK OUT!® program, either at the OSU clinic or elsewhere, we offer two weekly free SPEAK OUT!® maintenance groups.

In-person SPEAK OUT!® maintenance group: Wednesdays from 3:30-4:00 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church (523 S Duncan Street; located at the intersection of Duck and 6th Street), Stillwater, OK 74074.

Online SPEAK OUT!® maintenance group: Thursdays from 4:00-5:00 p.m., via Zoom. Please contact Dr. Parveen for the meeting link and other details.
