Assessments
We provide comprehensive assessments to evaluate your child’s communication skills, uncovering their unique strengths and needs. Using a combination of formal and informal measures, we assess speech, language, and communication abilities to get a complete picture of their skills. This helps us determine whether therapy is recommended and set appropriate speech, language or literacy goals. Typically, the assessment takes one session, which includes a case history to gather information about your child’s development and any relevant medical or family history.
