What Sets Our Speech & Language Therapy Services Apart?

Communication is one of life’s most important skills because it helps us connect to others and be understood. Speech and language skills are also foundational for academic success.

Our speech and language therapy programs address a variety of challenges through speech and language therapy.

The areas we address include:

  • Articulation, pragmatic language, expressive and receptive language, semantics, sentence structure

We can help your child communicate effectively and comfortably by addressing these challenges.

Answering Parents’ Top Questions About Speech & Language Therapy

  • An assessment of some sort is essential for uncovering the language skills that your child is struggling with and building our customized lessons. If you’ve already had an assessment done elsewhere, let’s discuss whether it provides the information needed to help your child succeed.

  • The exact skills depend on what your child needs. They may include but are not limited to appropriate pronunciation of words, socially appropriate verbal & nonverbal skills, phonological and phonemic awareness, morphology, and vocabulary building.

  • This type of assessment is typically offered by practices that are considered out-of-network providers. We will provide a Superbill with CPT codes that are often reimbursed to some extent for this service. You can then check with your insurance company to see whether they will cover part or all of the assessment.

    Please see our Billing & Insurance page for additional information.
