Speech & Language Assessments:

MAGPIE has developed a proprietary assessment tool kit called the D.A.P. (Dynamic Assessment Profile). This framework is based on, child observation and identifies the pre-requisite skills and core skills for an effective prognosis. The assessment is child-friendly yet objective. Areas like Attention, Following instructions, Sentence formation, conversation skills and oral motor skills (to name a few), are evaluated in detail. The parent contributes in the evaluation process actively as a observer and participant. At the same time it also taps into the child's learning potential and is highly interactive and process oriented.
