​Comprehensive Speech and Language Evaluation

A comprehensive speech and language evaluation is crucial to understanding a person's communication strengths and weaknesses as well as monitoring progress throughout therapy.  Speech and language evaluations give the speech therapist information about many factors that influence communication and help to develop specific goals for therapy. Depending on the needs of your child, evaluation will consider different areas of speech and language, including
  • what and how your child communicates
  • syntax/grammar and how your child combines words into sentences
  • vocabulary and semantics (word meanings) 
  • speech production or the speech sounds your child can make
  • hearing screening if needed
  • auditory processing skills
  • social language skills (how your child uses verbal and non-verbal language to interact with other people).
The speech therapist will use a variety of materials, including formal tests, informal observations, and lots of play to learn as much as possible about your child.  Parent/caregiver input is also important in the evaluation process, so you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire designed to learn about your child's history and communication needs.
