INVITING “THE MINUTE OF SILENCE” - APRIL 27

WHEN IS TIME TO MAKE AN ASSESSMENT OF YOUR CHILD LANGUAGE TEST?

• When the child correctly pronounces the words but is unable to make meaningful sentences,
• When the child is able to correctly use words to express their wishes and ideas, but few people outside the family do not understand what he speaks,
• When you make many substitutions in the phonemes or when the child speaks well and clearly but has difficulty following instructions.

Early language assessment to determine the cause of inappropriate language, diagnose if the language is consistent with the child's age, engaged identify phonemes and develop a plan of therapies. For assessment appointment call 317-1516 or 317-0562. Also available on Saturdays until 12md.

MORE HEADPHONES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH

We are happy to have given the “Regalo Del Sonido” to Yenifer , Lenard and Lucia. We are sure that this will help them develop and improve their language as well as their school performance, but especially we will make a big difference in their quality of life.

WE OFFER THE EVOKE RESPONSE TEST

This test evaluates the cochlea and auditory pathways and are required to follow special instructions before the test, to make the child fall asleep during it.
