What is a speech and language screening?

A speech and language screening is a brief assessment conducted by a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) to determine whether a child’s communication skills are developing as expected.

Screenings can identify signs of:

  • Speech sound/articulation delays

  • Language delays or disorders (differences in understanding or using words and sentences)

  • Social communication differences

  • Stuttering or fluency disorders

  • Voice disorders

Who benefits from speech and language screenings?

  • Kindergarten classrooms looking to identify students who may need extra speech and language support
