SLP Assessments
Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) assessments identify and help families understand any challenges a child may face with communication. These assessments are conducted by skilled speech-language pathologists, who evaluate a child’s ability to speak clearly, understand language, express thoughts, and interact socially. During an assessment, the therapist may observe how the child speaks, listens, follows directions, and uses gestures or facial expressions. They might also explore pronunciation, vocabulary, sentence structure, stuttering, and social communication. The goal is to pinpoint specific areas of communication that can then be targeted through therapy.
