Comprehensive Speech-Language Evaluations
An initial comprehensive assessment is completed for all clients to enable the speech-language pathologist to diagnosis the communication or swallowing disorder and recommend the best treatment approach. The areas of assessment are determined by the client’s (or family member’s) description of the communication/swallowing disorder. Treatment goals are established for each client based on the results of the initial assessment.
Therapy services may be initiated after completion of the assessment if a communication or swallowing disorder is identified. Treatment goals will be specific to the client’s areas of need and will guide the speech-language pathologist during the treatment process.
