During the evaluation, the SLP will conduct a series of tests and observations to assess the child's speech and language skills. This typically includes:
Parent/Caregiver Interview: Gathering background information about the child's developmental history and any concerns. Standardized Tests: Utilizing norm-referenced tools to compare the child's abilities to those of peers. Observations: Watching the child in naturalistic settings to see how they communicate in everyday situations. Language Samples: Analyzing the child's spontaneous speech to evaluate grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure.
