Comprehensive assessment for children under three years of age, includes the use of clinical play-based and behavioral observations, parent interview, standardized and non-standardized tools, and language sampling to support understanding your child’s foundations. Assessment may look at the following areas based on your child’s strengths and needs:
- Play development
- Oral motor development
- Speech sound development
- Motor planning and coordination for speech
- Phonological processing
- Receptive language skills
- Expressive language skills
- Social-relatedness foundations and early pragmatic language
For young children, play development is a component of the assessment as it is the foundation for early communication. Observation of social-emotional and behavioral patterns with communication is also an integral component of assessment for toddlers and preschoolers.
The initial assessment for a child under three years of age is one hour, with parent/caregiver present. Cost: $300.00
