Evaluations
Evaluations for speech and language are conducted for almost every new client. Evaluation criteria and administration can vary across SLPs, it is often pertinent that we conduct our own evaluation to determine appropriate goals and course of therapy. Evaluations may include:
Standardized testing to provide strengths and weaknesses as compared to peers your child’s age.
Language sampling
Observation and interview
Evaluations allow us to operate from the same set of data and provide a benchmark to measure future success.
