Assessment

• Includes a language screen to evaluate spoken speech and language skills, along with an evaluation of stammering. Stammering is not measured by ‘how much’ stammering is heard, but by observing the tension/timing changes during moments of stammering, and exploring feelings, attitudes and impact on every day participation.

• For children’s assessment, parents/guardians are invited to a complimentary Zoom meeting to discuss therapy recommendations and provide an information session on stammering based on your child’s evaluation.

Assessment

• A speech sound assessment will evaluate all speech sound patterns to find out what sounds are present, which sounds are not yet developed and an analysis of any substitution patterns.

• Speech sounds are evaluated in words and sentence level for a thorough evaluation.

• A stimulability assessment of sounds not yet present in your child’s speech system will also be completed which is important for setting therapy goals.

• A written speech sound assessment summary will be sent to you after your appointment along with start-up therapy activities so you can get going on speech work straight away.

Therapy
