Evaluations
Speech Evaluation
An evaluation of a student's speech and language skills that determines eligibility for speech therapy services in Texas schools.
What's included
- Speech and language instruments matched to age and referral question
- Language sampling and observation
- Parent and teacher input
- A written report tied to Texas eligibility criteria
- Results review with your team
Who delivers it
A licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP). Bilingual evaluations are conducted by SLPs licensed to evaluate in Spanish.
Where
- On your campus
- By secure video
Questions districts ask
- English or Spanish?
- Both. When a student's home language is Spanish, the evaluation is conducted by a bilingual SLP, because difference versus disorder cannot be answered through an interpreter.
- Can this be part of a full FIE?
- Yes. A speech evaluation can stand alone or fold into a broader FIE; we coordinate so nothing is tested twice.
- Can it be done by teletherapy?
- Yes, by secure video with a campus facilitator in the room, or on campus in person. You choose.
- How soon do we get the report?
- The report date is committed when the evaluation is scheduled, inside your compliance window.
- What happens after eligibility?
- If the student qualifies, weekly speech therapy can begin under the same roof, at the published session rate, with the documentation connected end to end.
