Key Benefits
Licensed SLPs who document FES-UA criteria
Our clinicians know the documentation requirements used by Florida scholarship programs. Evaluations include diagnostic impressions and formal written findings that align with FES-UA eligibility guidelines, plus clear recommendations you can use in your application.
Fast, clear paperwork and report turnaround
We provide a formal evaluation report and supporting paperwork soon after the assessment. Typical report turnaround is five to ten business days, and we can discuss expedited options if you have an upcoming scholarship deadline.
Out-of-network friendly billing and receipts
Lots Of Speech is an out-of-network provider and does not bill insurance directly. We provide detailed invoices and documentation that families can submit to Step Up For Students or to their insurers for reimbursement, as needed.
What the Speech-Language Evaluation involves
The evaluation combines a caregiver interview, observation and play-based assessment of expressive and receptive language, speech sound production, social communication, and feeding concerns when relevant. We collect language samples and use age-appropriate tools, then prepare a formal diagnostic report that describes findings, standardized scores when available, and specific language that supports FES-UA scholarship consideration.
Family-centered process in Plantation
We start with a free screening and consultation to understand your child's strengths and your scholarship timeline. Evaluations are low-stress and designed to feel like play for toddlers. After the report is delivered, we coach caregivers on next steps and may recommend follow-up therapy. Sessions are available in person in Plantation and by teletherapy, and we include images and clear examples on our site to help you understand the report and recommendations.
