Speech, Language & Feeding Assessment

Being able to communicate helps children of determination improve their quality of life and empower their families. Individuals living with autism can have speech and language deficits such as minimal or no speech, or delayed onset. Speech and language can be further compounded by anxiety, inattention, and social motivation issues.

Speech Language Assessment provides information on an individual’s speech and language capability to enhance communication across various settings. Using standardized tests, the assessment covers use of communicative gaze and gestures, quality of vocalizations, attention, vocabulary comprehension, and quality of play. Speech-language assessment is a multi-step process to assess, describe and interpret an individual’s communication ability.

Our assessment covers:

  • Case history, including medical status, education, socioeconomic, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds and information from client and family/caregivers.
  • Assessment of auditory, visual, motor, and cognitive status.
  • Standardized and non-standardized measures of specific aspects of speech, spoken and non-spoken language, and cognitive communication.
  • Planning of effective intervention strategies.
  • Follow-up services to ensure appropriate intervention and support for individuals with identified speech, language, and cognitive communication.
