01Speech sounds, motor speech, voice and fluency
Speech assessment distinguishes language organization, speech-sound production, motor planning, motor execution, voice, resonance and fluency. A child’s production pattern must be interpreted with age, language, dialect, hearing and the sample obtained.
351 words, about 2 min02Language, cognition, literacy and augmentative communication
Language assessment considers form, content and use across relevant languages and contexts. Vocabulary, grammar, narrative, inference and pragmatic communication can contribute differently to a person’s difficulties.
353 words, about 2 min03Feeding, swallowing and individualized safety
Swallowing assessment integrates medical status, respiratory function, nutrition, hydration, alertness, oral condition, symptoms and the person’s priorities. A clinical screen identifies a concern and helps determine the next step; it does not definitively establish every physiological impairment or exclude aspiration.
365 words, about 2 min04Assessment, evidence and coordinated intervention
Speech-language pathology assessment starts with the referral question and the person’s priorities. Gather relevant history, communication contexts, developmental or medical information, hearing status and the perspectives of the person and important partners.
359 words, about 2 min05Canadian entry-to-practice roles and professional responsibilities
The Canadian entry-to-practice speech-language pathology examination is distinct from an American Praxis examination or the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence. Speech-Language and Audiology Canada administers the CETP examinations, while actual registration and practice requirements depend on the relevant Canadian regulator or territorial framework.
