[quote=Anonymous]We ended up re-doing a speech eval originally done at UMD at the Lab School:

We've had good experiences with UMD in the past.  The graduate coordinator for the elementary age ST doesn't seem very on the ball.   (FYI, this is testing service is [b]separate[/b] from the preschool there, which is very good.)  At UMD, the testing took forever--yes, these things are never quick but the testers were all over the place, and most every subtest was incomplete.  Our kid's speech issues were very well documented (actually from UMD and other places), we needed focus on certain things.

In the end the ~$500 we spent at UMD was wasted at spent probably twice as much at Lab but got much more comprehensive results.  (It might be different for you and the batch of grad students is always different--no matter where you go, but paying and getting something we could use was well worth the money.)

There are other places too.  ITS in Kensington and The Kids' Communication Center in Friendship Heights probably do evals.  We haven't used them, but have friends who are really happy with the practices.
