Speech & Language Screening

At Green Gables we strive for children to 'be the best they can be' and find that early assessment of basic skills such as speech and fine motor skills can help achieve this.  By identifying areas needing special attention or simple refinement we feel can make this possible for each child so, as part of our service we arrange for relevant professionals to visit each year.  

From 9am on Monday 4th February, Sonia Bestulic from Talking Heads Speech Pathology will be visiting Green Gables to conduct speech and language screenings.  The screenings are approximately ten minutes per child and will monitor the development of;

• Receptive Language
• Expressive Language
• Speech Sound Development
• Voice
• Fluency

If you would like Sonia to do an initial assessment of your child then please print and complete the permission form below or complete one available at the sign in counter.  If you are unsure then please discuss it with your child's teachers.  If your child doesn't attend on Mondays you are welcome to bring them in especially for the screening session (you/someone must stay with them) or do an extra day (we have 5 places available that day).

Please place completed permission forms in the communication box (silver box on the wall by the sign-in counter) by Tuesday 29th January.

The GG Team
