Our team offers screenings for speech and language development for families through preschool and daycare programs.
​
What is a Screening and Why is it Important?
A screening is a brief 20-minute meeting with a speech-language pathologist to gather basic information and determine if a more in-depth evaluation is needed. It is ideal if you or your child's teacher have concerns but are not ready for a full evaluation or are unsure if one is necessary. It also offers a professional opinion regarding your child's development.
How does a screening differ from an evaluation?
An evaluation is an in-depth process that can result in a diagnosis and a treatment plan. It involves a detailed intake process and comprehensive testing.
