Assessment Of Speech Sound Production

Missouri rates for HCPCS 92522

A speech-language pathologist tests how clearly a person produces speech sounds, looking at which sounds come out wrong and whether the difficulty lies in patterns of sound use or in the muscle control and planning needed to speak. The findings set out whether therapy is needed and what it should target. This assessment covers speech sounds without a separate evaluation of understanding and use of language.
