Free 10-Minute Speech, Language & Literacy Screenings

Pineywood Park Picnic Shelter
Sunday, August 24th 9:00am-4:00pm

Wondering if your child needs speech therapy? Wish you could have just 10 minutes with a professional to get some advice or peace of mind?

We get it — formal evaluations can be expensive and time consuming when you’re not even sure if your child needs speech therapy. And phone screenings don’t allow providers to actually see and hear your child. That’s why we are offering an in-person screening day. In just 10–15 minutes, one of our highly experienced speech-language pathologists will listen to your concerns, interact with your child, and help you answer the big questions:

  • “Is my child on track with their speech or not?”

  • “Does my child need a full speech-language evaluation?”

  • “Can speech therapy help?”

  • “What now?”

Who It's For

Babies, toddlers, children, and teens ages 0–18 with concerns such as:

  • Not talking yet or delayed talking

  • Difficulty being understood

  • Trouble following directions

  • Struggling to answer questions or express ideas clearly

  • Social interaction issues

  • Reading or literacy challenges

  • Or any child with pre-existing diagnoses that impact communication (Autism, Down Syndrome, etc)

What to Expect

Based on the concerns you share in your registration form, we’ll tailor the short screening to your child. Our speech-language pathologists may:

  • Ask your child name pictures or describe toys

  • Read a book with your child and ask them questions

  • Observe how your child follows simple directions

  • Observe your child’s social interactions

Leave With Answers

You’ll walk away with professional feedback on whether a full evaluation is recommended — and guidance on what to do next. This quick check-in could save you months of worry and waiting.
