Bilingual Speech-Language Evaluations

A bilingual evaluation is essential for accurately understanding your child's communication abilities. Assessments conducted only in English often fail to capture the full picture of a bilingual child's language skills, potentially leading to misdiagnosis. Our evaluations in Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu ensure that your child's true abilities are recognized.
