Speech and Language Evaluation (comprehensive)

This is the combined speech-language evaluation: a speech-language pathologist assesses both how clearly a person produces speech sounds and how well they understand and use language. The two are assessed together because a child who is hard to understand may have trouble forming sounds, trouble with language itself, or both, and the plan depends on which.
