Overview
At Kids Neuro Clinic, we provide private, in-depth speech and language assessments for children who may be struggling to communicate effectively. Whether your child has difficulty expressing their thoughts, understanding instructions, or forming clear speech sounds, our team is here to help.
These assessments are designed to gently identify any communication challenges and support early, meaningful intervention. Every child is different, and our goal is to better understand how your child communicates—so we can build the right plan to help them thrive.
What Does a Speech Therapy Assessment Involve?
A speech evaluation test is a step-by-step process carried out by a qualified speech-language pathologist. It helps determine how well a child understands language, uses words, and produces speech sounds.
We look at things like:
- How your child responds to questions
- Whether they can follow directions
- Their ability to name everyday objects
- How clearly they pronounce words
- How they engage in back-and-forth conversation
The assessment might include both play-based activities and simple tasks. It’s not a test in the traditional sense—it’s more like a guided interaction that gives us valuable insight into your child’s speech and language development.
Should You Be Concerned About Your Child’s Speech?
Many parents aren’t sure what’s “normal” when it comes to speech and language milestones. If you’ve noticed any of the following signs, it might be worth scheduling an assessment:
- Your child speaks less than other kids their age
- They struggle to form complete sentences
- You often have to repeat instructions
- They stutter or pause frequently when talking
- Your child is not responding to his/her name
- Others have a hard time understanding them
- They avoid talking in group settings or at school
These signs don’t always mean something serious—but understanding what’s going on can give you peace of mind and help your child get the support they might need.
A Private and Comfortable Assessment Setting
We understand that bringing your child in for an assessment can feel like a big step. That’s why we make the experience as calm and low-pressure as possible.
- Assessments are done in quiet, private rooms
- Parents are part of the process from the start
- We focus on creating a relaxed environment for your child to feel at ease
- Everything discussed is confidential
There’s no pressure and no labels—just a thoughtful approach to understanding how your child communicates.
What to Expect at Kids Neuro Clinic
Here’s how the process usually goes:
- Parent Discussion: We start by listening to your concerns and learning about your child’s background, routines, and communication at home.
- Child Observation: Your child will interact with the therapist through play and conversation, allowing us to observe natural behavior.
- Standard Assessments: If needed, we use tools to measure speech and language development more formally.
- Feedback Session: We’ll walk you through what we found and what it means—with no confusing jargon.
- Next Steps: If therapy is recommended, we’ll outline a plan tailored to your child’s needs.
How Long Will Therapy Take?
This is one of the most common questions we hear—and the answer depends entirely on your child. Some kids make big strides in just a few months, while others may benefit from ongoing sessions over time.
What’s important is consistency and having a clear plan in place. After the assessment, we’ll give you honest feedback on what’s realistic and how we can work together to help your child progress.
