Comprehensive speech and language evaluations are conducted using a combination of formal assessments, behavioral observations, parental report, and review of records in order to determine if a speech and/or language problem is present.

“Parental involvement in the therapy is highly encouraged. The speech language pathologist consults with parents/caregivers on an on-going basis in regards to their child’s progress.  Parental training of techniques used in therapy can improve a child’s overall success and allow the child to continue practice of skills learned in therapy outside the treatment sessions” as stated on their website.

Speech-language pathology is a field of expertise practiced by a clinician known as a speech-language pathologist (SLP) or a speech therapist. SLPs treat and diagnose speaking disabilities. They help patients with articulation, stuttering, fluency, the rhythm of speech, and more. Additionally, they may treat patients who have difficulty with language and social skills. Patients see SLPs for a variety of reasons, including relearning language after an accident, overcoming a voice disorder, enhancing social communication skills, as well as improving speaking clarity.
