Understanding Your Child's Communication Journey
A thorough evaluation is the first exciting step in understanding your child's unique communication strengths and needs. At Sounds & Words, we conduct comprehensive, child-friendly assessments that help us create the most effective and personalized plan for their growth.
What is an Evaluation?
A friendly evaluation uses play to understand your child's communication skills. We assess speech, language, social interaction, and fluency to plan their best path.
Speech Sounds (Articulation): How clearly they make sounds.
Language Skills: How they understand and use words and sentences.
Social Communication: How they interact with others.
Fluency (Stuttering): The smoothness of their speech.
Unlocking Communication!
We make evaluations fun and comfortable, using playful activities and specialized tools. This gives parents clear insights into results and next steps for their child's communication journey.
Who Can Benefit?
An evaluation is recommended if your child:
Is difficult for others to understand.
Is not yet talking or has a limited vocabulary for their age.
Struggles to follow directions or answer questions.
Repeats sounds or words (stuttering).
Gets frustrated when trying to communicate.
You simply have a "gut feeling" about their communication.
