Evaluation 
 
A speech and language evaluation is the measurement of an individual's communication skills.  This can include: articulation skills (pronunciation), fluency, expressive and receptive language, pragmatic (social) language, semantics (vocabulary skills), syntax (grammatical understanding and usage) and functional communication skills.  The speech-language evaluation is conducted through informal and formal methods.  Formal tests are administered as a standardized way to compare individuals to others their age.  Informal assessment includes professional judgment by our clinicians in addition to a review of records, observation, and parent interview. The specificity of the results provided by the informal and formal testing allows our speech-language pathologists to set appropriate goals for therapy and are an essential element in understanding a student's educational profile.
