The purpose of assessment / evaluation is to identify communication strengths and areas of challenge or deficit in order to determine best possible treatment options.

Evaluation generally begins with an in-depth interview with clients and families. Our experts will develop an understanding of the communication abilities and concerns each client (and family) experiences in different situations. Based on the identified priorities, the evaluation team will plan formal and informal measures that may include observations, standardized tests, and questionnaires.  The assessment / evaluation concludes with a results sharing session to provide clinical recommendations and answers to the questions that clients and families may have.

Early Childhood

Early childhood assessments for speech, language, and social communication development are guided by the family's priorities and questions. Child speech/language assessments are offered for the early childhood age range (toddler through age 6). 

School-Age

Children ages 4-8, school-aged ages 7-12, and adolescents aged 13-18 are evaluated for speech, articulation, and language concerns, as well as reading/writing challenges with particular emphasis on the language components of literacy.

Our clinic offers several different assessments in order to support and identify the needs of clients and families. We frequently see clients for child speech/language assessments, language learning disability assessments, central auditory processing evaluations, stuttering diagnostics, and voice assessments, but we are available to evaluate a wide range of needs. 

Adults

Our goal at CU is to help individuals communicate and interact with other people as well as they can every single day.  We do that by evaluating your concerns and developing an individualized plan to address you concerns.
