Building Foundations for Effective Communication: The Initial Evaluation Appointment
During this 90-minute appointment we spend time getting to know you or your child. You will complete an online intake packet prior to your evaluation to help us begin learning about you or your child and your specific communication needs. The evaluation allows SLPs to gather quantitative and qualitative information about you or your child to inform subsequent treatment sessions. We will complete questionnaires, speech and language screenings, and formal “tests” to learn how stuttering impacts your or your child’s life in a variety of communication settings. This information will provide us with baseline data to help us measure progress and growth throughout the therapy process.
