A friend of mine asked about the process of obtaining a speech and language evaluation for their 3 year old son, living in NYC....any info is appreciated. Thanks!
A.
The private route would be a referral from her pediatrician. In NYC, information about services is available by calling 311 or by visiting nyc.gov.
The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary's Ear Institute is located on the east side of NYC - 380 Second Avenue (21st-22nd Streets). More info here: http://www.nyee.edu/ear-institute-hearing-learning-speech...
Call 311 and ask about the Early Intervention Program
for Speech Delayed children.
My son got help, it's great....He talks up a storm now.

Hi A.-
Your friend should call Early Intervention and ask them to evaluate her son. You can call 311 for the number.
Good Luck
K.
If she does not want to go the private route, she can get her child evaluated through the Committe on Pre-School Education. The eval and services are free. It is through the NYC Board of Education.
