Speech and Language Assessments

Speech and language assessments give a clear picture of your child's strengths and areas of need and are very helpful in selecting appropriate goals, establishing a baseline before speech therapy begins, and can be used to justify support in an educational setting. A recent speech and language assessment report is a requirement for all children undergoing assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder in BC. 

​

Your child's speech and/or language assessment session will be conducted by a registered SLP and will be comprised of the following based on your child's individual need: 

• An interview with you on your child's history and development 

• Observation of their interaction and play skills

• Collection of a speech or language sample

• Oral motor exam

• Administration of standardized tests that will be selected based on your child's age and areas of difficulty.

​

Typically, the assessment is completed in one sitting however adjustments can be made depending on the needs of your child. 

​

Assessments sessions are available online, in our clinic, or in your home (depending on availability and your location).

​

All reports will be made available to you within four weeks of the assessment date.
