Speech Language Pathology Assessments

Speech Sound Assessment

This assessment looks at how clearly your child speaks by analyzing how they produce speech sounds. The SLP will:

  • Ask about your child’s development and any concerns

  • Observe how the mouth, lips, tongue, and jaw move

  • Listen to your child say words, sounds, or speak in conversation

  • Look for patterns or errors in speech and determine if your child is stimulable for proper production of these sounds. 


The goal is to understand how easily your child is understood by others. The SLP will explain the results and recommend therapy if needed.

This assessment checks how well your child understands and uses language—both spoken and written. It includes:

  • Answering questions and following directions

  • Reading and understanding passages read aloud

  • Writing sentences or stories

This helps identify any challenges that may affect learning, reading, or communication. Afterward, the SLP will share results and suggest next steps or strategies.

Language and Literacy Assessment

Communication Assessment

This type of assessment gives a full picture of how your child communicates with others. It looks at:

  • Understanding and using spoken language

  • Expressing thoughts clearly

  • Use of gestures, facial expressions, or other means of communication. 

  • Social communication skills (like eye contact, taking turns, staying on topic, making inferences. 

The SLP will gather background information, observe your child in different activities, and talk through any concerns. Based on the results, they’ll recommend ways to support your child’s communication in everyday life.
