Connecting Children with Speech and Language Success
Should I be concerned about my child's
speech, language, and literacy skills?
If you are feeling uncertainty, there's a good chance the answer is yes. There are several free tools available on-line to help you determine if your child has speech, language, or literacy challenges. These are some of my favorites. The links below lead to sites that will guide you through a series of questions to help examine if your child may be at risk for reading difficulty.
Additionally, I offer a free 30-minute phone consultation during which we can discuss your child skill level. Please feel free to contact me today!

Speech & Language
Lexercise provides a 5-10 minute screening test that you complete with your child. It is appropriate for children in preschool through eleventh grade.
ASHA (American Speech Language Hearing Association) provides a year-by-year description of typical development for both speech and language.
Get Ready To Read offers a short screening test that looks at print knowledge, linguistic awareness, and emergent writing skills. It is designed for four-year olds (however, the information is good for most preschool-aged children).
NIH (National Institutes of Health) provides a checklist development of speech and language, as well as information regarding speech and language disorders.
