Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
Where do services take place ?
We make it easy for families to get speech therapy services by traveling to your home or child’s daycare throughout Cedar Park, North Austin, & Leander Texas. Virtual therapy available for residents of Texas or New Jersey.
Do you support non-speaking
and minimally speaking children?
Yes. All communication counts. We honor gestures, vocalizations, facial expressions, body language, and AAC alongside spoken language. Our role is to support communication that feels safe, regulated, and meaningful for your child, however it shows up.
How can I tell if my child’s
speech / language is delayed?
Speech and language skills encompass different areas. Language typically refers to the ability to comprehend and use words in sentences to communicate. Speech refers to the specific sounds we use to make words. The best way to determine if your child needs therapy is to speak with a professional. Let’s set up a time to talk it out during a free consult call to discuss your concerns.

We recommend reaching out to your health insurance provider to determine reimbursement eligibility.

Is an evaluation required prior to services beginning?
All clients must be evaluated prior to receiving therapeutic services. The evaluation may last up to 60 minutes and consists of caregiver interviews, observations, as well as formal and/or informal assessment tools. The results of the evaluation will be shared with you and a report will be provided. We will accept recent evaluation reports that have occurred in the last 6 months related to your areas of concern.
Will AAC stop or replace my child’s speech?
No. AAC does not take speech away. It gives children more ways to express themselves. Research consistently shows that AAC can support spoken language development, connection, and emotional safety.
