What is a speech therapy assessment?<\/h2>\n

The speech therapy assessment<\/strong> is a comprehensive evaluation, carried out by a state-qualified speech therapist, which precisely analyses a person’s language and communication skills \u2014 whether child or adult. It is not a simple observation: it is a battery of standardised, scientifically validated tests, producing numerical results compared against age-based norms.<\/p>\n

The assessment answers a fundamental question: are the difficulties observed in this child (laboured reading, chaotic spelling, delayed language\u2026) down to a simple lack of effort, an identifiable specific disorder, or both? The answer changes everything about how the child will be supported \u2014 at home and at school.<\/p>\n

A speech therapy assessment is the difference between “he’s not trying” and “he has phonological dyslexia that makes reading painful despite all his efforts”. This precision changes a life.<\/p>\n

The difference between an assessment and a therapy session<\/h3>\n

It’s important to distinguish these two types of consultation. The assessment<\/strong> is an evaluation: the speech therapist observes, measures, compares and writes a report. Therapy<\/strong> is the care that follows the assessment: regular sessions during which the speech therapist works with the child on the areas of deficit identified.<\/p>\n

You cannot carry out effective therapy without a prior assessment. And an assessment without therapy is just a diagnosis \u2014 useful, but incomplete. The two are complementary.<\/p>\n

What signs should alert you?<\/h2>\n

The difficulties that warrant a speech therapy assessment are varied. Here are the signs that, alone or combined, should lead you to seek a consultation \u2014 and above all to do so quickly, since the earlier the care, the more effective it is<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcd6 Slow or painful reading: <\/strong>The child spells out every syllable, loses their place in lines of text, refuses to read aloud.<\/p>\n

\u270f\ufe0f Very fragile spelling: <\/strong>Numerous, inconsistent errors even on simple words, no memorisation of rules.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd22 Difficulties with calculation: <\/strong>Confusing digits, unable to memorise times tables, suspected dyscalculia.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcac Oral language delay: <\/strong>The child speaks little or poorly for their age, pronunciation is hard to understand.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udde0 Attention difficulties: <\/strong>Lack of concentration affecting learning, poor working memory.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcdd Poor written comprehension: <\/strong>Reads the words but doesn’t understand the meaning of instructions or texts.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f Stuttering or voice disorders: <\/strong>Repetitions, blocks, persistently hoarse or nasal voice.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude30 Growing school anxiety: <\/strong>A child who cries, refuses to go to school, or puts themselves down over their learning.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcc9 Falling school results: <\/strong>Despite effort and motivation, results don’t improve.<\/p>\n

\u26a0\ufe0f A child who “doesn’t try” at school is often a child making considerable effort without results \u2014 and who eventually becomes discouraged. The speech therapy assessment is what makes it possible to distinguish assumed laziness from a genuine disorder.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What disorders can the speech therapy assessment diagnose?<\/h2>\n

The speech therapist assesses a wide spectrum of language and learning disorders. Here are the main ones, with ORA-VISIO resource pages for each:<\/p>\n
