Standalone Language Assessment
and Report
Word Play Paediatric Speech Pathology will soon be offering standalone language assessments and reports.
A formal assessment is conducted to gain an understanding of your child's receptive and expressive language skills. The results of this assessment are standardised, meaning scores can be compared to the results of same aged peers.
A comprehensive report is provided as part of this service. Please see pricing page for further information.
Assessment reports are useful to support NDIS funding applications and/or diagnosing neurodiversity.
You will also have the option for your child to be placed on our therapy waitlist following this assessment.
