Assessments & reviews

Answers, Not Guesswork

Wondering whether your child's speech is on track? Our 60-minute evaluation feels like a playdate — puzzles, picture books, snack chat — while we measure articulation, language, fluency, voice, and oral-motor skills against age norms.

You leave with a plain-language report, a clear recommendation (therapy, monitoring, or all-clear), and activities to try immediately.

  • Standardized testing plus natural play observation
  • Written report within five working days
  • Honest next steps — including “no therapy needed”

Evaluation FAQs

Do I need a doctor's referral?+

No — families can book directly. If funding requires a referral, tell us and we'll guide you through it.

What should we bring?+

Just your child and any previous reports. Favorite snacks and comfort toys are welcome — relaxed children show their true skills.

Will you tell us if therapy isn't needed?+

Honestly and happily. About a third of evaluations end with monitoring tips and a check-in date instead of therapy.

Can reports go to school or funding bodies?+

Yes — reports are written to funding standards and we send copies wherever you authorize, free of charge.
