Assessments for speech, language, and reading.
We have a wide range of speech, language, and reading assessment options that are specifically designed to meet your child's unique needs.
Each assessment is tailored to provide an accurate picture of your child's strengths and weaknesses, as well as how they respond to learning environments.
With these, we will be able to identify areas where speech, language, reading, or social support is needed for your child to reach their full potential either at home or in the classroom. We also offer comprehensive reports to help parents understand their child's assessment results in more detail.
We understand that finding the right speech and language assessment for your child can be overwhelming, which is why we're here to help you make an informed decision and answer any questions you may have. Please contact us for more information on our assessments or to schedule a consultation. We look forward to helping your family through this process!
