Evaluations and Testing
A speech and language assessment includes
a variety of standardized and non-standardized measures. These tools
are used to provide you with the most accurate descriptions of your
child’s speech and language strengths, as well as any challenges in
these areas. Not sure whether your child is in need of an evaluation? Call
us for a complimentary phone consultation to discuss your concerns.
We use a variety of the most updated assessment tools as part of an
overall evaluation. Standardized measures can include a selection
of speech and language assessment tools that will compare your child’s
skills to those of typically developing peers. These are instruments
such as articulation or phonology tests, vocabulary tests, test of grammar/syntax,
narrative skills, and pragmatic skills. Non-standardized measures
may include observations of your child, speech and language conversation
samples, parent interviews, reports, and classroom observations.
Parents receive a full written report following the assessment, which
includes results written in parent-friendly language, as well as a consultation
session to review the report results. If warranted, a treatment
plan and goals will be developed with parental input as well.
