Assessments
Comprehensive Speech and Language Assessments
We specialize in speech-language assessments for children and teenagers. Common concerns include speech/articulation deficits, language and/or literacy development, and social/pragmatic differences. Our assessments focus on how all speech, language, and literacy skills intertwine and impact your child’s functional communication and reading/writing/spelling development.
Targeted Strategies for Addressing Challenges
We focus specifically on how challenges impact school or work (cognitive, emotional, or behavioral). Once we identify the challenges, we provide clinical (DSM 5) (if applicable) and recommend targeted strategies, interventions, and accommodations to address them.
The Assessment Process: Thorough Testing and Evaluation
Testing typically includes the following: Obtaining background history; review of school records; interviews with parents, educators, and the learner; spontaneous language sampling; direct formal speech and/or language testing (usually one or two sessions that are approximately two hours in length), interpretation of test results, a final written report, and follow-up meeting to review results.
Comprehensive Insights for Holistic Assessment
Sometimes psycho-educational testing and autism-specific testing are needed in addition to a speech-language assessment and are added to the process as needed. Families can expect the final report and follow-up approximately two to three weeks after the last date of in-person testing.
