Evaluations

Comprehensive, Student-Centered, and Data Driven

Every great plan starts with a clear picture. AstiNova provides high-quality speech and language evaluations that identify each learner’s unique strengths and needs. Our assessments are thorough, individualized, and aligned with both educational and clinical best practices.

Includes:

  • Speech sound and phonological evaluations

  • Language comprehension and expression assessments

  • Pragmatic and social communication assessments

  • Fluency and voice screenings

  • Re-evaluations and progress monitoring

We collaborate closely with families, teachers, and IEP teams to ensure results translate into meaningful, actionable goals—so every student has the support they need to succeed.

Our Approach to Therapy

Evidence-Based, Engaging, and Collaborative

Therapy at AstiNova is designed to make communication feel natural and rewarding. Whether working with students in schools or children in private sessions, we combine research-backed strategies with a flexible, individualized approach that meets learners where they are.

Our therapy focuses on:

  • Building functional communication skills that carry over to daily life

  • Incorporating play, movement, and meaningful routines

  • Collaborating with teachers, families, and caregivers for consistency

  • Using data-driven progress tracking to guide each session

Every session blends connection, confidence, and growth—because progress isn’t just about goals on paper; it’s about helping each student find their voice and use it with purpose.

Speech Therapy

Clearer Sounds. Stronger Confidence.

Speech therapy at AstiNova helps children and students improve clarity, accuracy, and confidence in their speech. Every session is individualized and engaging—building the motor, auditory, and cognitive skills needed for effective communication.

Areas we address include:

  • Articulation & phonological disorders

  • Speech sound development delays

  • Oral motor and phonemic awareness skills

  • Fluency and voice differences

Through play-based and functional activities, we make practice feel natural—so progress carries over into classrooms, conversations, and everyday life.

Language Therapy

Understanding, Expression, and Connection.

Language therapy focuses on helping learners strengthen how they understand and use language across settings. Our approach combines evidence-based strategies with meaningful interaction—because language growth happens through connection.

Areas we address include:

  • Receptive language (understanding questions, directions, and vocabulary)

  • Expressive language (using words, grammar, and sentence structure)

  • Narrative and academic language (retelling, organizing ideas, and vocabulary expansion)

  • Social and pragmatic communication skills

We tailor every session to the learner’s goals—helping them build strong language foundations for success at home, in school, and in life.
