Speech & Language Evaluations

A comprehensive speech and language evaluation identifies each client’s communication strengths, areas of difficulty, and individual support needs. Our experienced speech-language pathologists evaluate children, adolescents, and adults who may have difficulty understanding language, expressing their thoughts, producing speech sounds, speaking fluently, engaging socially, or communicating effectively across everyday environments.

What Does the Evaluation Include?

The evaluation may include an assessment of:

• Receptive language and comprehension

• Expressive language and vocabulary

• Speech sound production and intelligibility

• Oral-motor skills and motor-speech planning

• Fluency and stuttering

• Social communication and pragmatic language

• Play and early communication skills

• Use of gestures, signs, or AAC

• Parent, caregiver, and teacher concerns

Evaluations combine standardized testing, clinical observation, play-based assessment, and parent or caregiver input. We select assessment methods based on each client’s age, abilities, communication needs, and personal goals.

Following the evaluation, we will review our findings with you and provide personalized recommendations. When appropriate, we may also collaborate with family members, caregivers, educators, physicians, or other members of the client’s care team.
