School Screening Services
At Little Lions Speech Pathology, we offer Kindergarten and Pre-Primary school screening services.
Through screening assessments, our therapists will identify any difficulties in students across the following areas:
Speech: This refers to the way your child pronounces sounds in words (e.g. instead of saying ‘cat’ they say ‘tat’).
Expressive language: This refers to the words your child is using and the way they are combining them to form sentences and discourse. Language is important for them to be able to tell stories and express needs.
Receptive language: This relates to how well your child understands things such as their ability to follow instructions, answer questions and solve problems.
Early literacy skills: The ability to identify and manipulate sounds in words. Phonological awareness is crucial for the development of literacy skills.
For each child that is screened by Little Lions, a summary report letter will be provided to the family. The letter will clarify whether their child is performing age appropriately or below average for their age. Based on a child’s performance, speech pathology intervention may be recommended, and Little Lions can then arrange an appointment for the family.
Teachers will also be provided with raw data for their students, with a summary of assessment results for their students.
Consultations will be available for parents who wish to discuss their child’s results.
