What Are the Common Assessments for Expressive Language?
Assessment of expressive language typically involves:
- Speech-Language Evaluation: Conducted by a speech-language pathologist, this evaluation includes standardized tests and observational assessments. - Developmental Screening: Pediatricians often use tools like the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) to screen for developmental delays. - Hearing Tests: Since hearing issues can impact language development, audiometric testing may be necessary.
