Abstract

The review summarizes the various methods employed in assessing communication skills in children. Speech-language assessment is a complex procedure that aims to evaluate child’s receptive and expressive vocabulary, formation of sentences, using language for different purposes, and articulation. It is crucial for early identification, diagnosis, and intervention of children with communication disorders. It is the initial step taken towards understanding the difficulties faced by the parents or caregivers of the child and guiding them to make appropriate decisions regarding the intervention. Formal and Informal testing procedures are complementary approaches incorporated to understand the child’s speech and language abilities. The information gathered during assessment forms a foundation for making clinical decisions. The results obtained from the assessment determines whether the child has a language delay or demonstrates age-expected performance, which in turn influences the need for intervention.
