Problems with speech and language development may include:
There is no single test that evaluates all aspects of speech and language development. A qualified professional will select specific tests depending on the area of concern. It is important that assessments of speech, language, and communication difficulties take into account the child’s cultural and language context, particularly when a child is being raised in bilingual or multilingual environments.
For young children who are not speaking, an important first step in the evaluation process is to find out if the child may have a hearing loss. Talk with your child’s pediatrician or another healthcare professional if you suspect your child might have a hearing loss.
For evaluations, YMC is currently in-network with BCBS, United, Cigna, Aetna, and ComPsych. At this time, they are not in-network with any state-funded plans, such as AHCCCS or Mercy Care.
