Our Speech Pathology Assessment
& Therapy Process

At Tech Speaking, we take a comprehensive and efficient approach to understanding your child’s communication needs. Our process ensures a thorough assessment, clear recommendations, and a smooth transition into therapy if required.

Preparing for Your Child’s Assessment

Before your first session, you will receive a welcome email with a link to a pre-assessment form. This form helps us gather important background information about your child’s development, communication skills, and your concerns. Completing this form before your appointment allows us to maximise your child’s assessment session and tailor our approach to their individual needs.

Initial Assessment Session

Your child’s first appointment is a comprehensive assessment session at our clinic, where we:

Discuss your child’s history and your concerns (based on the information provided in the form).
Engage your child in assessment activities that may include standardised tests and interaction tasks.
Evaluate key areas of communication, including:

Speech sounds (pronunciation)
Language skills (understanding and expressing ideas)
Fluency (stuttering)
Literacy (reading and writing)

Each assessment is tailored to your child’s needs to ensure the most accurate and useful insights.

Comprehensive Assessment Report

Following the assessment, your therapist will:
✔ Analyse the assessment findings.
✔ Compile a detailed yet easy-to-understand report, which includes:

Assessment results (including standardised scores if applicable).
Written summary of your child’s strengths and areas needing support.
Therapy recommendations, if ongoing support is required.

This report is usually provided within 1-2 weeks, allowing you to quickly access the next steps for your child.

Therapy Sessions

If therapy is recommended, we offer weekly or fortnightly 1hr (40-minute face to face) therapy sessions tailored to your child’s specific goals.
