During your initial assessment, a range of assessment tools will be used depending on your child’s individual needs. This may include observation of your child during play, and a combination of formal (norm referenced standardised tests) and informal tools. At the conclusion of the session, you will be provided with a summary of the assessment findings, and recommendations will be provided for your child.
Therapy may be recommended to help your child achieve their speech and language goals. Therapy will be conducted in fun, play context. Home practice is crucial to your child’s therapy program, and practical and achievable ideas will be provided during each therapy session.
Screenings can be arranged for Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Pre-Primary students. The screening will include a summary of a child’s understanding of concepts and instructions (comprehension), grammar (syntax), words or vocabulary (semantics), story skills (narrative), speech sound production (articulation) and manipulation of sounds and words (phonological awareness). The purpose of screening programs is to identify difficulties as early as possible. Please call us if you would like an information package for school screenings.
