Part 13: RFP Clinic Materials and Equipment
The Robert F. Pierce Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic has a variety of materials, tests, books, and equipment which have been purchased for student intern and faculty use. All diagnostic and treatment materials (other than toys and other consumables) are catalogued by disorder type on the CSD web site for ease in locating useful materials for your assigned clients.
Clinic supplies are not to be taken out of the Clinic. The only exception to this is for student interns who bring clinic materials to their site supervisor at an assigned off-campus placement. The student will check out the materials in their own name, and will be responsible for returning them in one week.
Student interns are responsible for identifying broken or missing equipment, materials or test forms that need to be reordered. Notify the clinic secretary, using the forms for this purpose located in the CRC file drawer
Clinic Resource Center (CRC)
The Clinic Resource Center is a repository for a large inventory of published programs and diagnostic tests. These materials must be checked out before removal from the CRC. In order for all materials to be available for all faculty/staff/students, you are accountable for the following procedures.
- All materials are to be signed out for ONE WEEK ONLY.
- Articulation cards and toys are to be signed out shortly before therapy sessions and returned immediately after the session (soiled toys first must be cleaned using infection control procedures. See Handbook Part 12).
- Articulation or picture cards are to be checked out in full sets. Individual cards are not to be removed from a set.
- You must follow the proper sign-out procedure for borrowing CRC items.
- Return items to the specified area in the clinic office. Do no reshelf items in the CRC yourself. The clinic secretary will check in items and reshelf them in the CRC.
- If you cannot locate a CRC item, please talk with the Clinic Secretary.
You will receive notice shortly before the end of the semester regarding return of materials. Students are responsible for paying the replacement cost of any materials not returned. If students do not return the item and do not pay the replacement cost, a hold will be placed on the student´s record and they will not be permitted to register for further classes until the issue is resolved.
Electronics (Montague G)
Video and audio taping equipment and assorted instrumentation are stored in Montague Room G in the RFP Clinic.
- Video equipment must not be removed without permission from the clinic secretary.
- If video equipment is used outside the Clinic, upon permission, it must be replaced and hooked up as it was prior to your use of it.
- UMD Information Technology Support Services (ITSS) loans electronic equipment for educational use; students are encouraged to access this equipment.
- Other equipment is for use in the Clinic only.
- Student interns are responsible for reporting broken or missing items to the clinic secretary.
Augmentative Alternative Communication Lab (Montague Room 11)

Due to Bohannon Hall Construction, the Bohannon 236 computer lab has moved to Montague 24B.

Toys and crafts (Montague 24A and Clinic Storage)
Small toys and craft materials are stored at the back of the RFP Clinic. Large toys are stored in Montague 24A. These items must be returned after therapy sessions. Everyone is responsible for keeping these storage areas clean and organized.
Intern Supplies Storage (Montague 24A)
Student interns have the option of checking out a bin for the semester to store personal therapy projects and supplies. Bins are located in Montague 24A.
- Personal valuable items are not to be stored in the bins. Students are encouraged to reserve lockers on the UMD campus for safekeeping of personal belongings. The CSD Department is not responsible for any person´s valuables.
