Evaluations

All clients start with a comprehensive evaluation to identify strengths and areas for growth.

At AugmentAbility, I take a holistic approach to speech and language evaluations. This includes interviews, formal and informal tests (providing information without assigning a score), observations, and collaborative goal-setting with clients.

The evaluations are conducted through a disability-affirming lens to develop personalized therapeutic plans that are functional and realistic for the client's unique needs.

AAC evaluations are available at AugmentAbility Speech Therapy. I am committed to helping all clients find affirming and functional communication methods. Learn more about AAC here.
