Initial Consultation and Assessment

Your first consultation and assessment session with Madi will be 1-hour. Written referrals are not required. Madi will collect background information on your child to assist her in developing an individualised therapy plan. In the same session, an appropriate assessment will be commenced to determine your child’s specific articulation and/or literacy difficulties. Depending on the complexity on your child’s difficulties, the assessment process may take up to two sessions.

After the assessment process, personalised and achievable goals will be determined, and agreed upon by you.

Formal Language Assessment

Ready Steady Speech uses the Comprehensive Evaluation of Language Fundamentals- Fifth Edition (CELF-5) for language assessments. The CELF-5 evaluates various areas of expressive and receptive language, and pragmatics. Recommended in cases where a comprehensive language assessment is necessary, CELF-5 utilises structured tasks, observations, and informal evaluations. The results provide accurate insights into a child’s language skills, guiding the development of personalised intervention plans. This assessment is particularly valuable for identifying strengths and areas requiring support. The CELF-5 assessment may be required for a diagnosis of dyslexia, developmental language delay, intellectual disability, or other learning disability. We prioritise transparent communication, offering detailed feedback and tailored recommendations to help address specific language needs. The CELF-5 assessment is suitable for individuals aged 5 - 21 years of age.

Prep Readiness Assessment

Brief screening tools will be used to collect information regarding your child’s speech, language (expressive and receptive), fluency, social skills, and voice.

Please note: This is a once-off assessment session, and will not guarantee ongoing sessions. If areas of difficulty are identified, referral to an external Speech Pathologist may appropriate.

This session will take 60-minutes and includes a summary report which you will receive within 7 days.

Articulation, Stuttering, and Literacy Intervention

Weekly 45-minute sessions with your child, accompanied by an adult.
