Frequently Asked Questions

Early Intervention
Early support can make a lasting difference in a child’s communication development. We work with young children who are late to talk, have difficulty expressing their needs, or are developing communication skills at a slower pace than expected.
Speech Sound Disorders
We help children who have difficulty producing speech sounds clearly or who are difficult for others to understand. Therapy focuses on improving speech clarity, building confidence, and helping children communicate more effectively with family, friends, and teachers.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech
We provide specialized therapy for children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), a motor speech disorder that affects the ability to plan and coordinate the movements needed for speaking. Treatment is individualized and focuses on helping children develop more accurate, consistent, and functional speech.

No child is “too young” to benefit from support when there are concerns about communication development. Early intervention can make a meaningful difference because young children’s brains are rapidly developing and they learn through everyday interactions.
If you are wondering whether your child’s speech, language, or communication skills are developing as expected, an evaluation can help provide answers and guidance. Do not wait until your child is older or “outgrows it” to seek support.
-
Getting started is simple:
Reach out: Fill out an Inquiry Form on our website or Call us to share your concerns and ask questions.

Every child develops at their own pace, but some signs may indicate that an evaluation could be helpful. Consider reaching out if your child:
Is not using words or is using fewer words than expected for their age
Is difficult for others to understand
Becomes frustrated when trying to communicate
Has trouble following directions or understanding language
Has difficulty combining words into phrases or sentences
Struggles with sounds or pronunciation
Has difficulty interacting or communicating with others
Has lost previously learned communication skills
If you have a concern, you are welcome to reach out. A speech-language evaluation can help determine your child’s strengths, needs, and next steps.

We are a private-pay practice, which allows us to provide timely, individualized care without the delays that can come with insurance based services.
By choosing private pay, families can often begin services quickly (sometimes as soon as the next day) instead of waiting weeks or months for an opening. This means your child can receive support during the important early intervention window when communication skills are developing rapidly.
Private pay also allows us to focus on your child’s unique needs and create a personalized therapy plan without insurance restrictions on frequency, goals, or length of care.
We are happy to answer questions about our fees, payment options, and how to get started. Our goal is to make accessing quality speech therapy as simple and timely as possible.
