I-xcel provides speech, language, and hearing screenings to children in private schools, preschools, childcare centers, and pediatrician offices. Screenings are performed by a state licensed, nationally certified Speech-Language Pathologist. The screening will assess your child’s articulation of sounds, voice quality, oral motor skills, and fluency of speech. The language screening will briefly assess your child’s comprehension and ability to use age appropriate language and vocabulary. The hearing screening will assess appropriate hearing bilaterally as judged by pure tone audiometric testing. The screening may also include phonemic awareness and auditory processing. A screening is NOT the same as an evaluation. A screening helps identify those children who may have a speech, language, and/or hearing impairment. If your child is found to have mild difficulties yet a full speech/language evaluation is NOT recommended, home programming ideas will be discussed in order for you as parents to help facilitate these skills at home. If an area of concern is identified, a complete evaluation by a speech-language pathologist and/or audiologist will be recommended. I-xcel is available to provide a full speech-language evaluation (cost for screening will be applied to cost of full evaluation), as well as follow-up therapy on your site.
We are currently scheduling school speech-language hearing screenings for FALL 2010!
