Hello,
In this situation, you have the option of seeking a private and licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP) in your area who will evaluate your child, or speaking to your child's teacher/school administrator to request a speech evaluation. The school-based SLP will then complete an observation of your child's speech, then if deemed necessary and academically relevant, a formal evaluation will be conducted. Contact your school to get additional information about the evaluation process as it varies from state to state.
