Speech and Language Evaluations
Evaluations probe into all areas of speech and language to get a comprehensive profile of a child's overall communication abilities but specific areas of concern are targeted more closely .
Areas of Evaluation
speech production
receptive/expressive language
grammar/syntax/vocabulary
social/pragmatic communication skills
Preverbal & nonverbal communication
Evaluations include a combination of standardized, norm-referenced assessments, language sampling, informal assessment, clinical observation and parent input. Specific areas of concern (i.e. speech, social skills, expressive language) are targeted in more depth. A comprehensive report is provided and reviewed with the parent, including recommendations for targeted therapy goals and services if the child qualifies.
