Speech-language Assessments address areas such as receptive language, expressive language, pragmatics and cognitive functioning, fluency, phonological/articulation, play skills, and processing. The goal of the assessment is to get a thorough understanding of the child’s language and communication abilities and development including identification of strengths and communication challenges.   In the case of a child speaking multiple languages, we want to determine if the child has underlying conditions of if delays are caused by learning more than one language at a time. The type of assessment given depends on the age of the child.

The assessment is performed using a number of formal and informal tools depending on the presenting information.  Included in an assessment may be observations of the child, informal discussions with family and teachers, standardized assessment tests, naturalistic interactions, review of previous records, and other tools as needed.

At SEC, our assessments are conducted by a certified speech-language pathologist with CCC-SLP certification.  All assessments performed by Special Education Consulting, Shanghai follow the typical standards expected in the U.S.
