Speech and Language Therapy
1. Screenings
A Speech and Language Screening is a brief look at Speech, Language and Feeding development and does not automatically indicate a delay. It assesses the patients abilities in the areas of:
Voice (tone, loudness, quality)
Fluency (stuttering)
Articulation (pronouncing sounds in words correctly)
Feeding (oral motor skills, eating and swallowing behavior)
Language (understanding and using words)
2. Comprehensive Evaluations
A typical Speech-Language Evaluation consists of three components. First is the collection of a client Case History. At Anya Viviers Speech Therapy this information is collected prior to the evaluation processes by completing our initial intake form so that the evaluating Speech Language Pathologist can review the client’s medical status, education, socioeconomic, cultural, and linguistic background and information from teachers and other related service providers prior to the evaluation. Second, the Family Interview. Most of our evaluations will start with a family interview providing time to ask any additional questions regarding the information provided on the initial intake form, address parental/caregiver concerns. Finally, the administration of standardised and/ or standardised measures. These measures will be used to evaluate the following:
Auditory Processing Disorders
Autism Spectrum Disorders
Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Cleft Lip and Palate
Expressive and Receptive Language Disorders
Phonological Disorders
Pragmatic/Social Communication Disorders
Voice and Resonance Disorders
Speech and Language Delays in Toddlers
Stuttering and Fluency Disorders
Feeding/Oral Motor Disorders
3. Therapy Sessions
Therapy sessions are of different lengths according to the client’s needs. This will be determined in the evaluation session.
