What is speech therapy and how does it work?

Speech therapy helps people improve their ability to communicate. It can also help with problems like unclear speech, trouble understanding others, or difficulty swallowing. A certified speech-language pathologist (SLP) works with each person to create a treatment plan based on their needs. Therapy may include speaking exercises, games, and helpful tools to improve communication.

Is speech therapy covered by insurance?

Speech therapy is often covered by health insurance, especially when it’s medically necessary (like after a stroke or for a diagnosed disorder). We’ll help you verify your benefits and explain your options if you're paying privately or your insurance is out-of-network (please see our accepted insurances)

How long does speech therapy take to work?

The length of therapy depends on the person's age, goals, and the severity of their challenges. Some people see improvement in a few weeks, while others may need ongoing support for several months. Consistency and home practice play a big role in progress.
