Tinnitus can impact more than hearing. It can affect sleep, daily life, and how someone feels about the future.

This patient arrived at NUCASLL after working with another audiologist and ENT, feeling like there was no hope for improvement. Through specialized tinnitus care, they now report that much of the time their tinnitus is barely noticeable, they are sleeping better, and they feel more optimistic about what lies ahead.

Stories like this remind us that individualized, specialized care matters.

Student-supervised care means every patient benefits from the combined strengths of a licensed clinician and a graduate student clinician. This model allows for more preparation, more discussion, and more focused support during every appointment.

Sessions are intentionally longer so there is time to listen, observe, explain, and plan. This thoughtful pace helps families feel heard and ensures each treatment plan reflects both expertise and current research.

In speech and language therapy, education is woven into play, problem solving, and meaningful interaction.

Activities like the one shown here help children build language, follow routines, strengthen attention, and practice social communication. These skills support learning across subjects and create a strong foundation for success in school.

Thank you to the families, clinicians, and students who support children on their educational journeys every day.

Parent and caregiver involvement plays an important role in communication progress. When families understand the goals of therapy and use simple strategies at home, children build skills more quickly and more confidently.

Caregiver participation helps with:
• Reinforcing new skills throughout the day
• Improving carryover from session to home
• Building consistent routines for practice
• Reducing frustration by giving children clear ways to communicate
• Supporting long-term success

Therapists are always ready to share ideas, answer questions, and provide activities that fit your child’s everyday life. https://nucasll.northwestern.edu/

Play is one of the most powerful tools for supporting communication development. Through activities like pretend play, children practice language, early social interaction, sequencing, and flexible thinking.

Therapists choose materials that match a child’s interests and communication goals so each session feels meaningful and motivating. When learning feels like play, progress comes more naturally.

Parents often ask how to know when a child may benefit from speech therapy. Here are a few helpful signs to watch for:

• A smaller vocabulary than expected for their age
• Difficulty being understood by others
• Challenges following directions
• Frequent frustration when trying to communicate
• Limited use of sounds, gestures, or words

Not every child who shows one of these signs needs therapy, but they are good reasons to check in with a speech-language pathologist. Early guidance can provide clarity and support for families.

If you would like to talk with someone about your child’s communication, our team is here to help. https://nucasll.northwestern.edu/
