At the end of your assessment your Speech Pathologist will evaluate all the information collected through the session and develop your Assessment report. This will be discussed with you in detail at your next session.
Following your Assessment

Following the assessment your speech pathologist will provide you with an assessment report. They will discuss the results from the assessment, discuss your goals for therapy and provide you with options to target those goals.
