How to Request Testing for Your Child
ScreeningThe first step to figuring out if your child would qualify for speech and/or language services is typically a screening. A screening is where I interact briefly with your son or daughter to determine if any red flags are present for a communication disorder. You can contact me at [email protected] or by phone at 309-389-5025 to request a screening. All children between the ages of 3-21 can be screened here if IB is their home school (the school they will attend for K-12th grade).

Speech/Language EvaluationIf your child shows signs of a speech or language impairment at the time of his or her screening, I may recommend a full speech/language evaluation to measure strengths and weakness in the areas of speech sound production, language, voice, or fluency. Because speech/language evaluations are detailed and comprehensive, I only recommend these when they are truly necessary. When an evaluation is needed, I will contact you directly to complete necessary paperwork and begin the process of formal testing.
