Speech Therapy Assessments
Overview
Comprehensive speech therapy assessments are completed at the onset of services and periodically going forward to track progress and update goals as well as strengths, progress, and areas of need.
Assessment information can be gathered by reviewing the client's records and history, direct clinical observation, using standardized testing tools, data collection, and conversations with parents/caregivers to inform the therapist of the client's communication skills.
These assessments may include:
- Diagnosing speech and language disorders
- Identifying strengths and areas for growth
- Recommending goals and treatment planning
- Recognizing potential reasons for speech and language concerns
- Suggestions for better managing these needs and decreasing frustration for the client and caregivers
- Possible referrals for other providers and specialists
Assessments can be conducted in ASL to support the Deaf & HOH community in Buda and Austin, Texas.
