Speech & Language Evaluation Services
Speech and language evaluations can be a very complicated process and it can be hard to
find trained speech-language pathologists who specialize in conducting them for bilingual students.
Our SLPs are specially trained to conduct Speech and Language Evaluations for students who are culturally
and linguistically diverse.
What happens during a Speech & Language Evaluation?
After reviewing the referral question, our professional will perform parent (caregiver),
student and teacher interviews. The SLP will perform a variety of assessment tasks with the student to
evaluate the areas of concern, such as articulation, receptive and expressive language, voice quality,
fluency and social language. For bilingual and second language students, these same areas will be assessed
in their native language. Ultimately, the goal of the evaluation is to identify whether a disability is
present and to recommend appropriate intervention goals. After the assessment, the SLP will complete a written
report of the evaluation that includes the child’s history, speech and language abilities, and recommendations
for future treatment.
