Yes. We accept select commercial insurance and Medicaid plans for pediatric speech therapy. Accepted insurance plans vary by location, with different plans accepted at our Newport News, Virginia and Douglasville, Georgia offices.

A referral may be required depending on your child's insurance plan. Some insurance plans require a physician or other authorized healthcare provider's referral or order before speech therapy services can begin, while others do not.

Our team will review your child's insurance requirements during the intake process and let you know if a referral or additional documentation is needed before scheduling services.

Our team will review your child's information, insurance benefits, and any referral requirements and guide you through the next steps. Your child's initial appointment will typically include a speech-language evaluation to identify their communication needs and determine whether therapy is recommended.

Speech therapy sessions are typically 30–60 minutes in length depending on the goals, treatment plan, and insurance coverage.

During your evaluation or consultation, we will discuss recommended session length and frequency to create a plan that best supports your goals.

Frequency is determined after the initial evaluation and is based on your child’s specific needs, goals, and clinical recommendations.

Your first appointment is focused on getting to know you or your loved one, understanding concerns, and gathering information to help guide next steps.

For children, this may include discussing developmental history, reviewing concerns with parents or caregivers, observing communication skills, and engaging in activities or informal assessments to better understand strengths and areas of need.

For adults, the first appointment may include discussing current concerns, medical or communication history, evaluating speech, language, cognitive communication, or swallowing concerns, and identifying goals for therapy.

Our goal is to create a comfortable, supportive experience while developing a plan that meets each client’s individual needs.
