Speech and Language Assessments and Therapy

Speech and Language Assessments are designed to assess a child’s or adult’s communication abilities by evaluating speech sounds, language comprehension, voice, fluency and social communication skills. The assessment will conclude the effectiveness of one’s oral-motor skills, hearing, and cognitive abilities.
