Online Speech and Language Evaluations for Kids and Adults
A speech and language evaluation is the first step in therapy. It shows what is going well, what is hard, and what to work on. At Oasis Speech, evaluations are done by live video with Sherry Owais, M.A., CCC-SLP, licensed in Texas and Florida.
What a Speech Evaluation Includes
- A conversation about your concerns, history and goals
- Standardized testing and informal measures suited to age and need
- For children, play-based observation and parent input
- A written report with results, a diagnosis where appropriate, and recommendations
- A review call to walk through the report and next steps
How an Online Evaluation Works
- Free consultation. A 15-minute call to confirm an evaluation is the right step.
- Intake forms. You complete history forms online before the visit.
- The evaluation visit. A live video session. Young children attend with a parent or caregiver.
- Your report. You receive a written report with clear recommendations.
Who Should Get a Speech Evaluation
- A toddler who is not using words or combining words as expected. See speech delay.
- A child who is hard to understand. See speech sound disorders.
- A child or adult who stutters. See stuttering in children and stuttering in adults.
- A student struggling with reading or spelling. See dyslexia and literacy.
- An adult with speech, language or thinking changes after a stroke or brain injury. See aphasia.
Private Evaluation or School Evaluation
Public schools evaluate students at no cost to decide whether a child qualifies for school services. A private evaluation looks at your concerns in full, is not limited to school eligibility rules, and can usually be scheduled sooner. Many families do both. Read our guides for Texas and Florida.
Cost of a Speech Evaluation
Self-pay evaluations are $250 and include the written report. Many insurance plans cover evaluations; we verify your benefits first. See pricing and insurance.
