Speech Clinic Children, Trains Adults Supplies Remedial Work in Hearing Almost every afternoon, several small children press the elevator button on first floor and go to eight to the Speech Clinic. Launched in September as an aid to children with speech and hearing de fects, the Clinic is also a training ground for Speech majors interested in working in Speech Correction. The chief speech problem involves the substitution of one sound for another, such as fich for fish. An invaluable assistance in applying speech therapy is the tape recorder. It makes the child aware of his dis tortion of the speech sound and pre serves examples of the defects for class discussion and analysis. Through the use of toys and pic tures, the pupil's production of con sonants is checked in their initial, medial, and final positions. * A specially designed Gated Compres sion amplifier or Auditory Training unit designed by Jay L. Warren of Chi cago is employed in correcting the faulty speech patterns of the hard-of-hearing child. By means of this instrument it is possible to amplify the weaker ele ments of sound without distorting the louder sounds. While listening to clear, normal 'sounds, the child relaxes and does not build up the tension that causes fatigue and irritation. Not only is the physical side of the subject's defect studied, but also, in many cases, the clinician regards the inter-personal relationships of the child with parents, teachers, and other associates. His mental reaction to his defect is of the utmost importance and, the Clinic believes, if ignored, may bring defeat. * * * The time necessary for correction differs with each particular case. The Speech Clinic operates regularly every week day afternoon and all day Sat urday. A special Summer Speech Clinic will be conducted this year. Right now the Clinic, with 25 pat rons, would gladly welcome any con tributions of children's toys and books. Miniature chairs and tables are also needed to enable the smaller children to relax completely during their les sons.
