Speech Evaluations and Screenings
By Say What - May 22, 2018
Speech Evaluations
Evaluations are conducted in order to determine an
individual's strengths and weaknesses in the areas of speech, language,
oral-motor, and/or social skills. The assessment includes a parent
interview, review of previous records including health, developmental
milestones, prior assessments (if available), formal standardized measures,
informal observations, play-based assessment, and behavioral observations.
Based on the needs and concerns of the individual being assessed, the evaluation will include:
- Articulation- speech sound production
- Voice- vocal quality, vocal use and abuse
- Fluency- stuttering, cluttering, normal dysfluencies
- Language- receptive (understanding), expressive (expression), and social skills/pragmatic (use of language)
- Dysphagia and Feeding- swallowing function, oral motor skills, and oral sensory awareness
- A comprehensive evaluation will include an evaluation in all areas of communication, formal or informal.
- A limited evaluation will only include a specific area of concern (i.e. speech sound production).
After the evaluation, a written report will be provided with a
summary of the results and recommendations for treatment.
Speech Screenings
A screening is a brief look at an individual to determine if a
further, in-depth evaluation is recommended.
