Speech & Language Assessments
What Is Speech & Language Assessments?
A speech and language assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of how your child understands and uses words, sentences, and social communication, compared with typical communication milestones. It helps clarify whether there is a delay or disorder, and what kind of support is recommended.
Who Is This For?
Children of any age where you, a teacher, GP, or other professional are unsure whether their communication is on track compared to typical milestones. Helpful if persistent difficulties with understanding, talking, social interaction, or learning need clarification.
Benefits
An assessment can help explain why your child is finding talking, listening, or learning harder than expected, and guide timely intervention. It also provides the documentation often needed for school supports, NDIS planning, and multidisciplinary care.
How We Help
What To Expect
A qualified speech pathologist gathers background information, observes your child in natural interactions such as play and conversation, and uses a mix of standardised tests and naturalistic tasks (e.g., picture naming, following directions, conversation) to identify the individual's communication profile . You receive a clear written report which has a summary of findings, diagnosis where appropriate, and evidence‑informed recommendations that can be shared with your GP, educators, and NDIS planners.
Our Techniques
We combine parent interview, communication milestones checklists, formal language assessment, language sampling, and classroom/functional observations to identiify your child's strength and challenges. Results are interpreted within a family‑centred, culturally responsive framework.
Real Life Targets
Assessment clarifies whether we need to target receptive language (understanding words, sentences, instructions), expressive language (using words and sentences), speech sounds, fluency, literacy or social/pragmatic skills (using language appropriately in interactions).
