Speech & Language Assessments

At Utage Child Development Centre, our Speech & Language Assessments help identify challenges in how your child understands, speaks, and uses language to communicate. These assessments are the first step toward helping children with speech delays, unclear speech, or communication difficulties develop stronger skills.

What Are Speech & Language Assessments?

Speech and language assessments are evaluations done by qualified speech-language therapists to:

• Measure your child’s ability to speak clearly

• Assess understanding of words, instructions, and questions

• Evaluate how your child uses language to express needs and ideas

• Identify stammering, lisping, or unclear pronunciation

• Check oral motor skills (movement of lips, tongue, jaw)

• Determine if your child needs therapy or further investigation

These assessments form the basis for creating a personalized speech therapy plan.

When Should You Consider a Speech & Language Assessment?

Your child may need an assessment if they:

• Are not speaking words by 18–24 months

• Speak fewer words or use gestures more than speech

• Have unclear or slurred speech

• Struggle with forming sentences or using correct words

• Repeat sounds or stammer while speaking

• Show difficulty in understanding instructions or questions

• Have been diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, or developmental delay

What Happens During the Assessment?

Our speech therapist will:

• Interact with your child through games, pictures, and fun tasks

• Observe speech clarity, vocabulary, and sentence formation

• Assess the child’s understanding, response time, and attention

• Check oral movements and strength for speech production

• Discuss findings with parents and recommend a therapy plan if needed

We also offer written reports to support school admissions or therapy planning.
