FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?

We are contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Division of Developmental Disabilities. Please contact us by phone or e-mail for our evaluation and therapy private-pay rates.

For our patients who are not BCBS nor DDD members, we are able to provide you with a super bill. This is a form that you can submit to your insurance company to attempt to get reimbursement for our services. Please reach out to your insurance carrier for more information and to verify your benefits as we cannot guarantee reimbursement for services.

WHEN SHOULD I BE CONCERNED ABOUT MY CHILD'S COMMUNICATION SKILLS?

Every child's individual acquisition of speech and language skills may vary as every child is unique. Referencing developmental milestones can provide a basis for determining whether a full evaluation is necessary. For a general overview of warning signs that may indicate a speech or language disorder, please refer to the ASHA webpage here.

We offer free consultations to address your specific concerns and discuss an appropriate plan of action. It would be our pleasure to address your concerns!

HOW LONG ARE EVALUATION SESSIONS?

Evaluation appointments are typically booked for 60 minutes though this may fluctuate based on the needs of the client. Evaluation appointments account for all components within this timeframe; this includes building rapport with child/client, parent interview, review of medical history, informal assessments, observation and/or standardized assessments.

HOW LONG ARE SPEECH THERAPY SESSIONS?

Our session length is dependent on your child's needs, their ability to attend to therapeutic activities and the professional recommendation of the treating SLP. Our sessions range from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. This includes direct therapy time, consultation and follow-up with parent to discuss progress and home program in addition to time to document the session.
