Frequently Asked Questions
How long does speech therapy take to show results?
Results vary for each child, but many families notice improvements within 3-6 months of consistent therapy. Progress depends on the child's individual needs, frequency of sessions, and family involvement in practice at home.
Can speech therapy help nonverbal autistic children?
Speech therapy can help nonverbal children develop alternative communication methods, including gestures, picture systems, and assistive technology. The goal is always to help each child communicate effectively, regardless of whether they use spoken words.
Is speech therapy covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover speech therapy services, especially when medically necessary. We work with families to verify benefits and can provide documentation needed for insurance claims.

Signs may include difficulty expressing needs, limited vocabulary, challenges with social communication, or difficulty being understood by others. A professional evaluation can help determine if therapy would be beneficial.
