Developmental Profile: A structured evaluation of a child’s physical well-being and motor development, language and literacy development, personal-social development, thinking and cognitive development, and background (i.e., health, early childhood experiences and special needs if any). A child may be assessed in any one or a combination of these areas.

Developmental Screening: A “quick check” of a child’s performance to make sure the child is on the right developmental path. The screening relies on parent observations and developmental milestones to identify concrete concerns.

Behavioral Assessment: A behavioral specialist looks beyond the presenting problem behavior to understand what function it may be serving the child (i.e., what happens before the behavior, and what comes after the behavior). Findings provide the basis for development of a behavior intervention plan.

Audiological Assessment: A hearing assessment determines the degree, type and configuration of hearing loss. This assessment is the first step in developing a treatment plan.

Audiological Follow-Up: When treatment and management are in place, periodic check-ups determine the stability of the child’s hearing status and whether modifications are indicated.

Early Literacy Screening: Reading is a process that begins long before kindergarten. An early literacy screening looks the child’s print knowledge, emergent writing skills, and linguistic awareness.

Early Literacy Intervention: When child determined to be at risk for reading failure, a speech language pathologist working with parents, provides developmental experiences to promote the child’s pre-reading skills.
