Assessment:
We offer speech and language assessment as part of our therapy services as well as stand-alone assessment packages. Assessment may involve formal standardized speech and language assessments and/or informal assessment through observation, play and information gathering from parents, teachers and other professionals. A comprehensive Speech Pathology report detailing your child’s strengths and areas for development as well as support recommendations can be provided.
Please contact us to discuss your child’s individual assessment needs.
