Education and research to improve services for children who stutter are also goals of the center. The center was a logical extension of a four-year study (1992-1996) funded by the National Institutes of Health, which provided guidance in the selection of assessment and treatment approaches and access to the families of children who stutter in our service area.

The center provides internships for students who are in the Communicative Disorders master’s program. Also, workshops are available for practicing speech pathologists to update their knowledge of fluency disorders.

The Center for Children Who Stutter is supported by the Department of Speech Communication and the College of Communications. The center works closely with the National Stuttering Association, a self-help group for people who stutter, and the Stuttering Foundation of America.

FULLERTON ARBORETUM
The Fullerton Arboretum, a 26-acre botanical garden, is located on the northeast corner of campus. The gardens contain plants from around the world. Many are grouped according to their moisture requirements. Others form special collections such as conifers, palms, rare fruits and California natives. Special plant displays help visitors select materials for their own landscaping.

The recirculating waterfall, streams and ponds are a focal point for migratory waterfowl and visitors from the university and surrounding communities. The Arboretum is an island of serenity in an increasingly metropolitan environment.

The Arboretum also offers opportunities to study local history and culture at the Heritage House and the Orange County Agriculture and Nikkei Heritage Museum. Heritage House, nestled in the garden, is the restored residence and medical office of Dr. George C. Clark, an Orange County pioneer physician. The Clark home was built in 1894 and exemplifies the Eastlake Victorian style of architecture. The house is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and the Inventory of California Historic Sites. It is also an Orange County Historic Site. The Orange County Agriculture and Nikkei Heritage Museum displays exhibits that tell the story of Orange County’s early agrarian days. Both are open to the public on weekends and weekdays by reservation.

The CSUF Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) helped to initiate the Fullerton Arboretum by contributing $10,000 in 1971. Since then, ASI has contributed support monies each year to hire students to help in the maintenance and operation of the Arboretum.

The Fullerton Arboretum is open 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., seven days a week. The Arboretum is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.
