Services - Assessment and Therapy
Assessment
To determine your child's specific strengths and weaknesses in their communication and/or literacy, the speech pathologist will need to undertake a comprehensive assessment of your child's skills. An assessment will be different for every child, depending on their age and area/s of concern. An assessment may take up to 1 hour for a young child but 2-3 hours for an older child, spanning over 1-2 appointments. The speech pathologist will be able to advise you on how long the assessment process will take. Please contact us for our fee schedule.
Upon completion of the assessment, your speech pathologist will discuss the results with you in detail and advise you of the best course of action. You may be asked to follow up with other services, such as a paediatrician or audiologist, if further investigation is required. The amount and type of therapy your child may need to resolve or support their areas of difficulty will then be discussed with you. |
