Evaluations
The best way to know whether a child can benefit from speech and/or language treatment is to complete an evaluation. The tests we use for evaluations include books and toys that are fun for children to complete. We try to make every evaluation as enjoyable as possible for children by including breaks to play, stickers, and/or a small toy as a prize for completing tests.

The Hanen Centre® Programs
The Hanen Centre’s It Takes Two to Talk®, More Than Words®, and TalkAbility™ programs have been clinically proven to improve children’s communication skills by teaching their parents tools to use during everyday interactions like eating snack, reading, or playing. Each program provides parents with tools to help their child develop stronger communication skills.
Amy M. Schulz, MS, CCC-SLP, is a Hanen-certified Speech Language Pathologist who offers these programs to parents as an add-on to individual treatment sessions. This allows the programs to be individualized to each family’s needs and pace.
