Assessment

Speech and Language Assessment in Singapore

Every child’s journey at Beyond Speech begins with a comprehensive 1-hour assessment session. This first session allows us to understand your child as a whole. Not just their skills, but their personality, learning style, and your family’s concerns.

What Happens During an Assessment

Parent interview

We begin by listening to your concerns and goals, and gathering information about your child’s development, learning history, and everyday communication.

Case history review

This helps us understand your child’s background, strengths, and any previous support they may have received.

Formal and informal assessments

We use a mix of standardised tools, observations, and play- or task-based activities to evaluate your child’s communication or learning skills in a natural and engaging way.

Trial therapy activity

Your child participates in a short therapy-style activity so we can assess how they respond to support, learn new skills, and engage during sessions.

Child-friendly approach

For younger children, sessions are play-based to support comfort and authentic interaction. For older children, games and breaks are included to reduce anxiety and ensure accurate performance.

Feedback and recommendations

At the end of the session, we share our clinical impressions and discuss next steps, including whether therapy is recommended, suggested therapy frequency, what therapy may involve, and how we can support your child moving forward.

Parents are involved throughout the process, and all recommendations are tailored to your child’s individual needs.

Qualified, experienced hands

What Parents Say

★★★★★

Working with Xian Hui since the end of 2023 upon my son’s ASD diagnosis… his transformation has been remarkable, he now consciously spells words using correct sounds, and his social communication has improved. Most importantly he looks forward to attending the weekly session.

★★★★★

Teacher Tammy took the time to understand my child’s unique needs and worked diligently on the specific sounds he struggled with. The progress has been tremendous — and the invaluable tips she shares mean we can keep building his speech at home.

Mother of a 7-year-old boy, R

★★★★★

I could see the significant changes in her speech — clarity, confidence and articulation. Sounds she couldn’t pronounce at first, she now says out loud, and she even corrects herself. It improves her self-esteem every time she expresses her thoughts.
