Speech-language assessment

A speech-language assessment is a comprehensive process used by specialists to evaluate an individual's communication skills. It involves observing and testing speech sounds, language understanding, expression, voice, fluency, and social communication. The goal is to identify any difficulties or delays and determine their causes. This assessment helps develop personalized plans to support or improve communication abilities, whether the challenge is with speaking, understanding, voice, or social interactions. The process typically includes interviews, observations, and specific tasks, providing a clear picture of the person's communication strengths and areas needing support.
