Frequently Asked Questions

1. I have concerns about my child's speech, language and/or oral motor development, what should I do?

2. How do I pay for the evaluation (and therapy if needed)?
If you have medical insurance (which includes Medicaid or any private health care organization-Aetna, Blue Cross, Coventry, Kaiser, etc.), we will bill your insurance direcly. If you do not have medical insurance, private pay option is available and we do have a sliding scale based on income.

3. Do I need to get a referral from my doctor?
No, Initially, I will need to get a prescription for an evaluation from your child's pediatrician but no referral is necessary. Calling your therapist is the first step and we can go from there.

4. If my child needs therapy, is there a waiting list?
Finding therapists to work individually in the home are very hard to find in the metro Atlanta area. Currently, I am hiring new therapists to work on our team to cover all areas of Atlanta. Call today to see if we have one in your area. If not, the evaluation can be completed and we can give you a list of options as well as a short home program while you are looking for a therapist in your area.

5. What if my child is already getting speech therapy services in the school?
Many children that receive speech services in the public school systems also receive them at home if they are deemed eligible based on their diagnosis. Many children are in desperate need to receive these services and the parents don't know that they are even available. The benefit to having a home therapist is that you are provided with a home program, one-on-one based therapy that is focused on your child and not on paperwork requirements necessary by the state. Many times, children are seen in groups when they get therapy in the school systems. This is also an opportunity for the parents to be active participants and to learn what and how to do the techniques that your therapist is providing for your child. This is crucial for maintaining progress at a steady rate and generalizing information across settings.
