Summer 2022 Services at SLHC

Speech Language Evaluations for 5 - 12 year olds

Children with language problems may act out or have trouble making friends. A Speech Language Evaluation can diagnose problems with speech sounds and/or language use.  For children who have problems saying some sounds or articulating, have problems understanding and using new words, or have difficulties being understood by others.

Language Learning Disability Evaluations

Evaluation of language, learning, and literacy, school-aged children through adults. Early language problems can often lead to learning disabilities, such as problems with reading and/or writing.  These children may have difficulty remembering details from a story or class, have trouble learning new words and following directions, or could struggle saying what they think.  

Fluency (Stuttering) Evaluations

Evaluation of concerns about stuttering in multiple or isolated contexts, all ages.  It is normal before age 7 for a child's speech to not sound fluid, however, if your child or as an adult, you repeat parts of words or prolong/hold a sound too long, this could indicate a risk for stuttering.   

Augmentative and Alternative Communication Evaluations (AAC)

Evaluation for use of non-oral, technology-based communication devices, all ages.

All sessions will be held at CU Boulder's Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences Building. For registration and/or more information call 303-492-5375 or email SLHC@colorado.edu.
