CANYON, Texas - Registration is open now for summer programs from West Texas A&M University's Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences.

Sessions will be held Mondays through Thursdays from June 10 to 27, excluding June 19, in the WT Speech and Hearing Clinic inside Harrington Academic Hall WTAMU Amarillo Center, 720 S. Tyler St.

Children ages 3 to 6 can enroll in the preschool speech-language group, which meets from 8:30 to 10 a.m.

Children ages 7 to 12 who need extra help producing the "R" sound can enroll in "Accelerate Your 'R'!," which meets from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

Cost for the three weeks is $125.

Space is limited.

Payment may be dropped off at the clinic on Mondays or Wednesdays or may be paid by phone at 806-651-5101.

Cancelations will be accepted and refunds issued through May 17.

Addressing regional needs is a key mission of the University's long-range plan, WT 125: From the Panhandle to the World.

That plan is fueled by the historic One West comprehensive fundraising campaign, which reached its initial $125 million goal 18 months after publicly launching in September 2021. The campaign's new goal is to reach $175 million by 2025; currently, it has raised nearly $160 million.
