Preschool children’s phonological awareness:

Preschool children with language-based phonological awareness and early literacy difficulties may be evaluated and treated by our highly qualified and experienced Speech-Language Pathologists. They conduct assessments of each kid on an individual basis in order to ascertain the distinctive strengths and shortcomings of each one.

Evaluation areas:

Early literacy skills, phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, reading accuracy, reading rate, reading fluency, overall reading accuracy, spelling abilities, and reading comprehension are some of the common areas of evaluation.

To rule out the potential of a language impairment that may be related to reading difficulties, oral and written language abilities should be tested. With this information, as well as earlier tests like psycho-educational examinations, a suitable therapy-based program may be determined for each child’s unique situation.
