Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose a private speech therapist?
Private speech therapy is often more individualized than what is offered at a child's school. Often, a child might not qualify for school or community-based therapy even when a disorder is present or is on a long waitlist for outpatient services. Parents may also not have the time to drive to a hospital or clinic-based therapy setting and prefer the convenience of home-based therapy or teletherapy.
What type of clients do you see?
We work with children of all ages who have an expressive/receptive language delay/disorder, use echolalia/scripts to communicate, are late to talk, non-speaking, minimally speaking, stuttering, alternative communication device use, or struggle with social communication or executive function challenges.
How long are therapy sessions?
Session times vary based on individual needs and attention spans, but most of our treatment sessions are 45 minutes in length. The frequency of weekly sessions is also based on the individual needs of your child and ranges from 1-3 sessions per week.
Where do sessions take place?
We travel to homes, schools, daycares, or other impactful community locations (parks, playgrounds, libraries, hiking trails, etc.). We also offer convenient teletherapy sessions.
What regions do you service?
We currently serve Maryland and West Virginia clients. For in-home services in Maryland, we currently travel within Frederick County. We also currently serve areas of Jefferson County, WV, as well as Berkeley County. If you are in a neighboring community and are interested in in-home services, please reach out, and we will try to accommodate your needs. Teletherapy services are available to residents of MD and WV.
Do you accept insurance?
At this time, we can provide superbills. We hope to bill insurance directly soon!
How will I be billed for services?
We use a secure, HIPAA-compliant online portal that stores and processes your payment at the time of your session. You will have access to payment information and invoices in your client portal.
Do you charge extra for driving to in-home sessions?
No. However, We reserve the right to implement a travel fee for travel outside of our current service area.
Can I be present for my child's session?
Yes! We value the opportunity to connect with your family and integrate the methods we are using into everyday routines.
Can you work with my child if they already see another speech therapist?
Yes, we are happy to collaborate with other SLPs.
We are private pay (out of pocket) and are considered to be out-of-network providers.
We will provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for partial or full reimbursement (depending on your coverage).
We recommend contacting your insurance company to verify your out-of-network benefits prior to starting services. Our services are often covered.
