WHAT IS A LANGUAGE SCREENING?

- A language screening is a short measure of your child’s communication and literacy skills that takes 15-30 minutes.

- It includes a parent consultation to discuss your areas of concern.

- You will receive screening results that indicate how your child is functioning within age-expected norms. These results may also include recommendations for either a full evaluation, monitoring for 6 months, or a referral to another professional.

Please email [email protected] or call/text 973-650-1322 to schedule your complimentary consultation and screening.

3 Questions To Ask Your Child When They Come Home From School

How was (specific subject area)?

Asking about a specific subject will help your child zero in on a specific part of their day. They can picture themselves in the art room and describe the events that happened.

What is something funny that happened today?

People usually have the most information about times that have big feelings. When something is funny or sad or surprising. By asking this question you are asking your child to focus on a specific feeling they had that day.

What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

This is a great question for kiddos who like to predict or may have not had the best day and need something to look forward to. This is also helpful so kids don’t have to rely on their memory.

Children use memory, sequencing, specific vocabulary, and storytelling skills when they tell us about their day. By asking more specific questions about parts of their day or feelings during their day we are helping them master these skills.

Remember: After 8 hours at school filled with socializing, learning, teachers asking questions your child might be done for the day. “Good” might be good enough. That is OK!
