Do you accept insurance?

At this time, we do not bill insurance directly. All services are private pay. However, we are happy to provide a superbill for families who wish to seek reimbursement from their insurance provider. We are working on accepting some insurances. 

​

What is a superbill?

A superbill is a detailed receipt that includes the information insurance companies typically require for reimbursement, such as service codes, dates of service, and clinician credentials. Families can submit this document directly to their insurance provider.

​

Will my insurance reimburse me?

Reimbursement varies depending on your individual insurance plan. Some families receive partial reimbursement, while others may not receive reimbursement at all. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask about out-of-network speech therapy benefits.

We provide thorough, accurate superbills and can guide you through the submission process. While reimbursement cannot be guaranteed, we will make sure you have everything needed to file with your insurance company.

​

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, check, and credit cards.

Why might my child need services?

​Language Evaluation

A language evaluation may be helpful if your child:

• Is not talking as much as other children their age

• Has difficulty following directions or answering questions

• Uses short, unclear, or hard-to-understand sentences

Some families also choose a language evaluation simply because they want reassurance that their child’s language development is on track.

Speech Evaluation

Children may benefit from a speech evaluation if they have difficulty being understood or expressing themselves clearly. While every child develops at their own pace, speech therapy can be helpful when communication challenges begin to impact learning, social interactions, or daily life.

AAC Evaluation

An AAC evaluation may be appropriate if your child:

• Uses very few words or is not yet talking

• Becomes frustrated when others do not understand them

• Relies mostly on gestures, pointing, or sounds to communicate

• Has tried speech therapy but still needs additional ways to express themselves

AAC evaluations are also helpful for families who want to explore whether a communication device or system could support their child’s communication.

​

What is an AAC evaluation?

An AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) evaluation is designed for individuals who may benefit from additional communication tools, such as a speech-generating device, picture-based system, or communication app.

During the evaluation, we will:

• Learn about your child’s current communication skills and needs

• Explore a variety of AAC tools and access methods

• Trial devices to determine what feels functional and motivating

• Identify the best-fit system for communication success

• Guide families through insurance considerations, paperwork, and vendor coordination

The goal is to provide a communication system that supports your child right now while allowing room for growth.

​

What is a speech sound evaluation?

A speech sound evaluation helps us understand how clearly your child produces speech sounds. We assess both the sounds your child can already produce and those that are still developing, as well as how speech patterns affect overall intelligibility.

A speech sound evaluation may include assessment of:

• Articulation (specific sounds such as “r,” “s,” or “th”)

• Phonological patterns (sound substitutions or omissions)

• Motor planning and coordination of speech movements

• Overall speech clarity and intelligibility

You will receive a clear explanation of your child’s strengths, areas to target, and a personalized therapy plan.

​

What is included in a language evaluation?

A language evaluation examines how your child communicates across daily routines, including both expressive and receptive language skills.

Areas assessed may include:

• Vocabulary development

• Sentence structure and grammar

• Following directions and comprehension

• Play skills and social communication

• Functional communication at home, school, and in the community

You will receive a detailed summary of your child’s strengths, areas of need, and recommended next steps, along with a personalized plan to support language growth.

​

Do I need a referral from a doctor?

Yes and no.

• If you are using private pay only and do not plan to submit a superbill, a referral is not required.

• If you plan to submit a superbill to your insurance company, a physician referral is typically required.

We are happy to help guide you through this process if needed.
