This is the first step, because it's a chance for the experts here at Speech Teachers of North Georgia to understand the your child's ablilities and any specific challenges he or she is facing. Several means including but not limited to standardized assessment will be used to compare your child's communication skills to same-aged peers.
During evaluation, we may assess many areas including your child's ability to understand and use words of different levels of complexity, the understanding of age appropriate concepts, social interaction, play skills, articulation of speech sounds, attention to tasks, self regulation and fluency of speech. This gives our team the information we need to begin the next steps.
