The Center for Educational Supports (CES) is a multidisciplinary clinic whose mission is to promote personal, social and academic development of all students, including those who are traditionally marginalized through the implementation of best practice and accessible speech language pathology and psycho-educational services to the community.
Compassionate Leaders Shaping Futures and Changing Lives
The work we do at the CES yields powerful, life changing results on multiple fronts. For graduate students in CSUMB’s School Psychology EdS and Speech Language Pathology master’s degree programs, it provides an exceptional training site working with real students who bring real needs.
For members of our regional community, the CES delivers comprehensive psychological-educational services at low cost and free speech language services. We provide:
- Expert Supervision – All of our services are provided by trained graduate students under direct supervision of licensed faculty.
- Bilingual Support – Some of our services are offered in Spanish.
