When evaluating preschool-aged children who aren't yet producing many words, focusing on pre-speech skills is crucial. Joint attention, play skills, and gesture use provide invaluable insights into a child's foundational communication development.

These skills are strong indicators of a child's readiness for more complex language. Observing how a child engages in shared activities or uses gestures to communicate can highlight strengths and areas for support, even before spoken words emerge.

In SLP Draft, there's a dedicated Pre-Speech Skills tab to help you systematically document these important observations. It ensures these foundational elements are thoughtfully included in your evaluation reports.
