Assessment

I’m here to help your child achieve clear speech, so their beautiful message can be understood by the world.

The first step in that is assessment: to find out what your child is having difficulty with and what the cause is, so the most effective treatment can be put in place, that gets the best results in the shortest amount of time.

Check your child's communication skills against the communication milestones, use the FREE self-screener to check your child's speech sounds yourself, or use the links below to book in for an individualised assessment with Polly.

While all children develop at their own rate, it can be good to know what to expect. Identifying where your child is at, helps you to know what to focus on, to support them to get to the next stage. Download this free handout for common speech and language milestones from birth to six years old.
