Evaluation and Testing

One key to an effective speech and language pathology program is a comprehensive evaluation. Testing is completed based upon the child’s age and diagnosis. Testing and evaluation help our Speech and Language Pathologists to fully assess the child’s speech, language and oral  motor skills. Our skills assessment evaluates:

• Receptive and expressive language
• Fluency (speaking smoothly and without effort)
• Voice and resonance (having a full, pleasant sounding voice)
• Oral motor and feeding skills
• Articulation (speaking clearly)
• Hearing ability
• Cognitive skill (clear thinking)

We also evaluate the child’s need for special equipment, which may include communication  devices, speaking valves or oral motor tools.

After testing, we will work with you to set up your child’s treatment plan. The treatment plan may consist of services provided on an inpatient and/or outpatient basis as well as activities to be done at home.
