Finding Their Voices: Transgender Clients Seek Out Steinhardt's Speech Clinic

Among a host of other services, the NYU Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic offers one-on-one sessions for transgender women and men looking for help in achieving their authentic voices. The sessions, led by Steinhardt students training alongside licensed speech-language pathologists, are organized around each client's unique goals.
