Speech and language screening consists of a 30-minute assessment of the individual’s speech, language, or cognition, This allows the therapist to get an initial impression of the individual’s abilities and to make further recommendations for a full evaluation, if needed, and for frequency and duration of therapy services. Referrals for occupational therapy/physical therapy screenings are also made should any concerns arise during the speech and language screening.

An evaluation is a combination of formal and informal measures which can include parent interview, play-based interactions, and observations. The results are used to determine areas of strengths and weaknesses. The evaluation will assess an individual's communication skills including receptive and expressive language, cognition, voice, fluency, social skills, and sound production. If a patient has feeding and swallowing concerns, an additional assessment will be completed.

The amount and duration of therapy sessions are contingent upon the results of the initial evaluation. Therapy goals are developed based on evaluation findings and collaboration with family/caregivers. We encourage family/caregiver participation during our sessions to ensure carryover of skills to all environments
