Evaluation
The evaluation process begins by getting to know the individual’s unique communication needs and goals through a personal consultation. You can expect a thorough, customized evaluation, blending formal and informal assessments, observations, and caregiver input when necessary. After testing is complete, a clear, detailed report is provided, and results are reviewed together. Based on the evaluation results, a personalized treatment plan is created to address specific needs with goals generated to achieve meaningful progress.
