Speech and Language Screenings in Jacksonville, FL

A speech and language screening is a brief, informal assessment designed to quickly identify whether your child may benefit from a comprehensive speech-language evaluation. Unlike a full evaluation, a screening is not diagnostic -- it's a helpful first step that answers one key question: Does my child need further testing? At Speech Language Pros LLC, our speech-language pathologists use evidence-based screening tools to assess your child's speech clarity, language understanding, and language expression in a relaxed, play-based environment. Screenings typically take 15-30 minutes and are an ideal option for parents who want a quick professional opinion.

Quick Assessments to Determine If Your Child Needs Further Evaluation

When Should You Consider a Screening?

Screenings are valuable for many situations: before starting kindergarten, when you've noticed your child sounds different from peers, as a periodic check-in if your child has a known speech difference, or when a teacher or pediatrician has expressed mild concerns. If the screening reveals typical development, you'll have peace of mind. If it indicates a potential concern, we'll recommend a comprehensive evaluation to get a detailed picture of your child's strengths and areas needing support. A screening is an affordable, efficient way to get professional insight into your child's speech and language development.
