Evaluations
In a speech/language evaluation, a therapist can determine whether your child needs assistance in a variety of areas. This evaluation may involve:
Play-based assessment
Parent interview
Observations
Standardized language Assessment tools
Articulation screener
If your child is bilingual, it can also determine whether your child has a language difference versus a delay based on evaluating the child in both languages and/or taking both languages into consideration.
