Does insurance cover speech therapy?
Speech therapy is covered by many insurance plans when there is a relationship between the problem and a medical condition. Some insurances will cover developmental problems in children.
Will I need to come to therapy more than once?
Speech therapy is a process so repeated short intervals of treatment which are frequent provide the best results. We will schedule treatment services for you depending on the problem and what in our clinical judgement is most beneficial and what works best for you and your family.
What will I have to do outside of treatment to improve?
Typically it will be necessary to practice what is being targeted in therapy on a daily basis outside of therapy.
What ages do you treat?
We provide services to people from toddlerhood through old age. We like to say 2-92!
Do you see people after the normal workday?
We are available Monday through Thursday for some evening hours by appointment.
There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us. We hope you enjoy our site and take a moment to drop us a line.
