Evaluations

Depending on your concerns, evaluations are typically completed in one 60-minute session with a follow-up session scheduled when more extensive testing is required. Evaluations may assess receptive language, expressive language, articulation, oral-motor skills, tongue thrust (swallowing disorder), voice and fluency (stuttering) skills. In addition, feeding and swallowing evaluations are available. Voice evaluations may include habit cough, vocal cord dysfunction, inorganic voice difficulties, pitch difficulties and suspected nodules.
​
​Speech and language difficulties are evaluated together in one or two sessions. All other areas are evaluated separately in one, 60 minute session.

Therapy

 Therapy is typically set up on a weekly basis although this may vary based on the assessment results. Tele-speech services and consultations in your child's classroom may also be available.
