Pediatric Speech & Language Evaluations in South Florida

A speech-language evaluation is the essential first step to understanding your child's communication strengths and needs. Our comprehensive assessments give you clear answers, actionable recommendations, and a path forward — all conducted in your child's most comfortable environment.

What It Is

A pediatric speech-language evaluation is a thorough assessment of your child's communication skills. It includes standardized testing, play-based observation, parent interview, and analysis of how your child communicates in natural settings. The result is a detailed report that explains your child's current abilities and provides specific, actionable recommendations.

Unlike clinic-based evaluations, we conduct our assessments in your home or your child's school — environments where they feel most comfortable and are most likely to show their true abilities. This leads to more accurate results and a better understanding of your child's real-world communication.
