If a child's screening assessment indicates a possibility of a communication disability, the next step is to refer the child for a comprehensive evaluation by a specialist. This can help determine the extent and nature of the communication difficulties, and guide the development of appropriate interventions and supports. A referral can be made by the child's teacher, caregiver, or parents, to a speech-language pathologist, psychologist, or special education professional, depending on the nature of the suspected disability. The earlier the referral is made, the better, as early intervention can greatly improve outcomes for children with communication disabilities.
