Free Speech and Language Screening

Speech and Language Screenings are tools use to determine if a child is developing within the average range when compared to other children his or her age.  Screening tests identify conditions that might need further assessment.  The following abilities are often assessed:  receptive language, expressive language, articulation and phonology, voice, resonance, pragmatic language skills and fluency.  A standardized assessment tool is used to conduct the screenings, which is often performed quickly and is completed in approximately fifteen (15) to twenty (20) minutes.  Children who do not pass the screenings are recommended to receive further assessment and evaluation.  Perfekt Me Speech Therapy Services, PLLC provides speech and language screenings to potential clients 0 years to 7 years, 11 months of age, at no cost!  A screening request can be submitted by downloading and completing our online Speech & Language Screening Consent Form and faxing it to (281) 947-8485.

Special Services

Perfekt Me Speech Therapy Services, PLLC now offers independent educational evaluations (for speech therapy) to parents of children who are confronted with the challenges of securing appropriate and fair school-based services and to school districts that need to demonstrate they have done everything possible to ensure fair and appropriate services have been provided to the children they serve.

An independent educational evaluation (IEE) is an evaluation that is conducted by a qualifed and licensed professional who is not employed by the local educational agency such as the school district.  Even though the local educational agency may have a list of evaluators that have been approved to conduct an independent educational evaluation, the parent is ultimately the person who selects the qualified and licensed professional to conduct the independent educational evaluation.  The qualified and licensed professional may or may not be listed as an approved evaluator with the local educational agency.  The parent has the right to select who he or she would like to conduct the evaluation.  

If you are a parent, advocate or school district seeking assistance in independent educational evaluation (IEE) services, please call (832) 736-8485 for additional information.
