LanguageScreen Assessment

LanguageScreen is a simple digital assessment that is used to measure the language skills of children as well as identify those children who may show delays in their language development. It is a simple-to-administer, tablet based assessment that takes less than ten minutes per child to administer. Results are available instantly with no paper marking or upload required.

Group Sessions

Each group session is 25-minutes and follows a structured routine including a listening game, vocabulary instruction and narrative or story telling activities.

Individual Sessions

The individual sessions provide an opportunity to concentrate on a child’s individual needs and consolidate what has been covered in the group sessions. Within the session you will revise the vocabulary covered and focus on any areas the child had difficulties with as well helping build their story telling skills.
