A Speech-language pathologist will take a quick look at your child’s skills to determine whether or not a full evaluation is needed.

A comprehensive assessment is conducted by a speech-language pathologist to determine your child’s communication abilities, including speech, language comprehension and expression, voice, fluency, oral-motor, and overall communication skills. An evaluation is the first step in identifying communication difficulties, establishing a diagnosis, and developing a treatment plan.

Using an individualized treatment plan with specific goals based on your child’s needs, a speech-language pathologist will use fun, engaging therapy tasks in a nature-based or clinical setting to address your child’s needs. Therapy can be done in English or Spanish.
