SJSU Speech Therapy: Audit

Expert Communicative Care at the Kay Armstead Center

πŸ“½οΈ Kay Armstead Center: Community & Expertise

The Kay Armstead Center for Communicative Disorders (KACCD) at San Jose State University is a community gem. This clinic provides expert speech, language, and hearing services while training the next generation of therapists in a supportive environment.

Auditor Insight: Ground Level Entry

The clinic is located in Sweeney Hall 115. You won't need to hunt for elevators; the entrance features wide, wheelchair-accessible doors equipped with push-button automatic openers, making it one of the most accessible spots on campus.

πŸ“ Locating Sweeney Hall 115

The clinic has its own dedicated waiting room with plenty of space for large power chairs or scooters. If you need a table moved or a specific seating preference for your session, the student clinicians are incredibly helpfulβ€”just ask!

πŸ…ΏοΈ Pro-Level Parking Strategy

Parking at SJSU can be a challenge. The best option is the 7th Street South Garage (at 7th and San Salvador). It features ground-floor ADA van-accessible spots near the exit. Tip: Ask the clinic about a temporary parking permit when you book to avoid the standard campus rates.

🧠 Specialized Clinical Programs

Beyond general speech therapy, they offer specialized tracks like the Spartan Aphasia Research Clinic (SPARC). For those who cannot make the physical trip to downtown San Jose, they also offer teletherapy options for certain voice and speech programs.
