Evaluation - The speech, language, and hearing evaluation includes the assessment of articulation and language (receptive, expressive; form, content, and use) as measured by a standardized/norm-based instrument (i.e., criterion-referenced measures including clinical observations). The evaluation may also include an assessment of oral motor functioning (oro-pharyngeal function), voice quality and speech fluency. Results of the evaluation may identify a significant delay or disorder in one or more of the following areas:
- Articulation skills
- Speech fluency
- Oral motor/feeding
- Voice quality
- Hearing
- Language
