A Speech and Language Assessment is a comprehensive “study” of one’s abilities in any of the following areas: 

• Articulation – the production of speech sounds
• Receptive Language – the understanding of words and sentences and the meaning of language
• Expressive Language – being able to put thoughts into words and sentences verbally and in writing
• Fluency – the rhythm, flow, and smoothness of speech
• Voice – the quality, pitch, and loudness of one’s voice
• Pragmatic Language – the social language we use in our interactions with others including non-verbal communication (i.e. tone, facial expressions, body language) and higher level skills (i.e., sarcasm, humor, executive functioning)

Assessments can be formal, gathering standardized scores, OR informal, using a file review of previous testing, records, clinical interview, observations, and checklists. Both include a written report including analysis and recommendations.

Clinic-based Therapy services are individualized services designed around each client’s strengths and challenges. These services may address any of the areas addressed in testing as well as :

• Early Language Delays (“Late Talkers”)
• Cognition/Memory
• Executive Functioning
• Auditory Processing
• Literacy and Phonemic Awareness

Clinic-based therapy services may be provided directly to the client and/or indirectly through a consultative model.

• Direct therapy consists of individualized instruction for each child in a one to one or small group setting
• Indirect therapy may include parent education sessions and/or consultation with educators and/or related professionals who are a part of the child’s team

Corporate coaching services may be provided as personalized, one-on-one, and/or team sessions to help executives, managers, and individual learners develop their leadership skills, build relationships, overcome challenges, accelerate their development, and achieve their goals.
