Pediatric Language Clinic (PLC), located on the west side of UTK’s campus, is one of UTHSC’s clinical programs that provides family-focused early intervention for children birth-to-three years of age who are in need of specialized services due to significant social/communication/behavior delays and/or a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The curriculum used at PLC is the SCERTS Model, which is designed to help Speech-Language Pathologists and graduate students target appropriate skill sets and provide adequate supports for learning in various environments and with a variety of communication partners. Funded through an agreement with the Tennessee Department of Education as an Early Intervention Resource Agency (EIRA), PLC is available at no cost to families in Knox County and surrounding counties who meet the Tennessee’s Early Intervention System (TEIS) eligibility criteria (medical diagnosis or developmental delay).
