Frequently Asked Questions About Speech Therapy

  • Speech-language therapy (which is often shortened to speech therapy) diagnoses and treats communication, cognition, and swallowing disorders.

  • Children with:

    ·      Language delays (e.g., late talkers, low vocabulary, difficulty following directions or retelling a story)

    ·      Articulation delays (e.g., speech isn’t easily understood)

    ·      Stuttering or cluttering

    ·      Social skills disorders (e.g., autism)

  • The first session typically includes a comprehensive evaluation where I assess speech, language, and cognitive-communication abilities, then we create a treatment plan, and afterward you get a report from me.

    If you waive the initial evaluation fee then we jump right into treatment based on your concerns and my observations.

  • No. Since I accept private pay all you have to do is schedule an appointment and complete my intake paperwork.

  • I offer 60-minute, 45-minute, and 30-minute sessions. You decide how long and how often, but clients benefit most from weekly sessions.

  • I see clients in their homes, daycares, or meet them at various community settings (e.g., libraries, parks, museums).

  • Yes, I offer weekend and evening sessions.

  • No, however, I provide you with a superbill after each visit that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

  • Private pay offers flexibility and highly personalized care. Since there’s no insurance involvement you have more control over the frequency and duration of therapy (e.g., no yearly therapy limits). Since my caseload is small I commit more time to your child’s needs.

  • I accept payment via cash, credit card, or check at the time of the session.

  • Yes, I am a licensed healthcare provider and you can use the benefits of your HSA or FSA.
