Comprehensive language assessments are offered to school aged children who have ongoing challenges with communication, or unexplained challenges with behaviour, academic or social functioning. The assessment will take a detailed look at your child's expressive and receptive language abilities and may also consider their social communication abilities. When a young person experiences persistent and significant difficulties in language development, a Developmental Language Disorder diagnosis may be given. 

​

Language assessments are offered as either a speech pathology only assessment or the assessment may form part of a larger multidisciplinary assessment when a more detailed profile of a child has been requested. Parents may self refer for language assessments. Referrals are also accepted from other health professionals wishing to seek an opinion on a child's language functioning as part of a greater multidisciplinary assessment process.
