Comprehensive Diagnostic Language Evaluations

  • What is Telepractice?
    Telepractice is the delivery of reading intervention, speech therapy, or SPED professional services by linking a practitioner to the client through an online video platform. Similar to a video chat, it combines technology with 1:1 or group interaction to deliver the highest quality services to students. In 2005, ASHA determined that telepractice is an appropriate model of service delivery for audiologists and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) (ASHA, n.d.). Many schools face the challenge of hiring talented educators with specialized certifications such as reading interventionists or dyslexia practitioners. Additionally, finding these teachers who are willing to apply for part-time work is even more difficult. LD Expert has the solution to this problem!

  • What is included in a speech/language evaluation?
    Our speech pathologists have extensive experience completing school-based speech and language evaluations via telepractice. Evaluations target and assess each indivual child’s needs. When evaluating as part of a full IEP team that includes the testing of a school psychologist, a speech evaluation most often includes the formal and/or informal assessment of articulation, language, fluency, voice, oral motor, and pragmatics. The LD Expert is able to offer more in-depth testing that can help with the diagnosis of dyslexia through a comprehensive evaluation of language that includes the assessment of expressive and receptive language, word recognition, spelling, phonological processing, automaticity/fluency skills, reading comprehension, rapid automatic naming, and vocabulary knowledge.
