Understanding Before Intervening
A structured assessment helps us understand an individual's strengths, areas of difficulty and functional needs before developing appropriate goals and intervention.
Why Assessment Comes First
At The Speech Studio, every intervention plan is built on a thorough understanding of the individual. Assessment allows us to identify specific strengths and areas of difficulty, clarify the nature and severity of concerns, and develop goals that are meaningful and achievable.
Assessment findings also guide decisions about the most appropriate type of intervention, frequency and setting.
