K.P.
The initial evaluation conducted through EI is a "developmental assessment" to determine what additional evaluations are needed. It sounds like the developmental evaluator feels that there is a need for a comprehensive language evaluation. EI is funded by through the Department of Health in each county.
Typical EI speech evals:
- parent interview
- clinical observation
- expressive language evaluation (what can she say)
- receptive language evaluation (what does she understand)
- articulation (what does she "sound like" what she talks)
This is ALL dependent on how old she is, but my guess is that your daughter is 2-ish, so they will do a lot of "labeling" tasks with her and "point to" and "direction-following".
Good luck!
