Assessments can take place in your own home, via telehealth or at one of our satellite locations. During our assessment, we will meet with you and an important family member of your choice. We will discuss any of your concerns and your goals for speech-language services. During the session, you can expect us to ask you questions about your current communication strategies and medical and family history. Additionally, we will use a variety of tasks to examine your ability to understand and use language in daily life. Typically an assessment will last one to two hours.
