Evaluations & Screenings
Clarity starts here.
When you're worried about speech, feeding, literacy, voice, or oral function, you need answers — not more uncertainty. Our evaluations clarify what's happening, what may be contributing, and what next steps make clinical sense.
For: All ages — infants through adults
Every evaluation includes a detailed written report you can actually understand — background, results, clinical impressions, and specific recommendations, all in plain language. Reports are designed to be shared with pediatricians, schools, and other providers.
During the evaluation, we start with a parent interview about your concerns, history, and goals, then move into direct assessment — standardized tests and clinical observation, play-based for younger children. We share initial impressions before you leave, and your full report arrives within 5–7 business days.
Many concerns overlap, so we can assess speech-language, feeding, literacy, and orofacial myofunctional areas in a single combined appointment when appropriate. Insurance coverage varies by plan and diagnosis — we verify your benefits before your appointment so expectations are clear.
Evaluations we offer
- Speech-language: articulation, language, fluency, voice
- Feeding: picky eating, textures, chewing, infant feeding
- Orofacial myofunctional: tongue thrust, mouth breathing, oral habits
- Literacy: phonological awareness, decoding, spelling, written language
- Pre/post orthodontic function
- Tongue-tie and lip-tie effects
- Combined multi-area evaluations
Not sure if you need a full evaluation? A quick screening (15–30 minutes) can tell you whether deeper assessment is warranted.
