SPROUTS stands for “Speech Pathology Reaching Out at UTS”
The UTS Speech Pathology Clinic - “SPROUTS”, is a student-led teaching and research clinic.
At SPROUTS, our speech pathology students provide services under the supervision of qualified Certified Practicing Speech Pathologists. We provide low-cost/free speech pathology services to clients of all ages throughout NSW and Australia who might not otherwise have access to a speech pathologist.
We provide a broad range of services, including assessment and support face-to-face within our clinic space at 100 Broadway, Ultimo, and via telepractice.
