What Does a Speech Pathology Assessment Involve?
At Communitalk Speech Pathology, we use a combination of formal standardised tests, observations, and engaging play-based activities to assess your child's speech and language needs. We focus on multiple areas, including:
-
Speech sounds and articulation (speech clarity)
-
Pre-language skills (play, joint attention, turn-taking)
-
Early language skills (first words, making sentences, understanding)
-
Preschool and school-aged language skills (understanding, expression, clarity, and social communication)
-
Fluency of speech (sound repetition)
-
Social skills (appropriate language use in context)
-
Literacy skills (phonological awareness, reading, and writing development)
-
Feeding skills (challenges with eating a variety of foods)
