Evaluations
Speech Sound Disorders
At Oceanview Therapy, we conduct thorough evaluations to identify speech sound challenges and determine whether they stem from a developmental delay, a motor speech issue, or another underlying factor. We provide clear, comprehensive reports with recommendations to help children and adults improve their speech clarity and confidence.
Receptive and Expressive Language
At Oceanview Therapy, we evaluate both receptive and expressive language skills to identify areas of strength and challenge. Our evaluations help determine whether someone needs additional support in processing and using language effectively in daily life, school, or work settings.
Social Skills and Pragmatic Language
Oceanview Therapy offers specialized evaluations to assess social communication skills and provide recommendations tailored to each individual’s needs. We focus on neurodiversity-affirming strategies to help children and adults navigate social interactions in ways that feel natural to them.
Fluency Disorders
At Oceanview Therapy, we provide in-depth evaluations to understand the nature and triggers of stuttering. Our reports include personalized strategies to help individuals communicate effectively while fostering confidence in their unique way of speaking.
Gestalt Language Processing
At Oceanview Therapy, we are experienced in identifying gestalt language processors and evaluating their communication in a way that respects their natural learning style. Our evaluations ensure that individuals get the right support, focusing on language development that feels comfortable and natural for them rather than forcing neurotypical speech patterns.
Neurodiversity-Affirming Care
At Oceanview Therapy, we provide strength-based, neuro-affirming evaluations that focus on each individual’s unique abilities and communication style. Our goal is not to “correct” differences but to help individuals communicate in ways that feel natural, comfortable, and empowering.
Bilingual & Multilingual Speech & Language Evaluations
At Oceanview Therapy, our bilingual and multilingual evaluations assess an individual's communication abilities in both (or all) of their languages to provide an accurate picture of their strengths and challenges. We ensure that any speech or language differences are not mistaken for a disorder and that cultural and linguistic factors are considered in the assessment process. Our evaluations are conducted by professionals experienced in bilingual language acquisition, and we offer testing in American English, Spanish, and Italian. By taking a culturally responsive and research-based approach, we help children and adults receive appropriate support and recommendations, whether for academic success, professional growth, or personal communication development.
