Screening and Assessments

• Do you have concerns about your child's readiness for school?
• Perhaps they aren't developing speech and language at the same rate as their peers?
• Have preschool or childcare educators raised concerns about your child's development?

Can:Do 4Kids qualified therapists can give an indication as to whether your child's skills are age appropriate or whether further investigation may be required through our affordable School Readiness Screening Assessments.

Speech pathology assessment packages are *held onsite at Can:Do 4Kids Noarlunga* and are delivered by our qualified and experienced speech pathology team. 

All Can:Do 4Kids speech pathologists are certified members of Speech Pathology Australia.

Your assessment package may involve assessment of one or more of the following areas, depending on your child’s needs: speech (how your child says sounds and/or words); language (the use of words, sentences, or the understanding of these), literacy (reading and/or spelling), problem solving.
