When you arrive at Speak Easy Speech Therapy, you will be met by our friendly office staff that will bring you to our treatment space. They will take a copy of your insurance information and give you an intake packet to complete throughout the evaluation which will ask about medical history, development, and family history. Additionally, it will outline our policies and procedures here at Speak Easy.
In the treatment space, you will meet with a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), who will be conduct your, or your child’s evaluation. Depending upon the concerns presented, and the client’s age, the evaluation could be an interview-based or an interactive assessment, in which you or your child is asked a series of questions by the clinician.
Following the evaluation, the SLP will then decide if ongoing treatment is necessary. Depending upon the findings, a client may be seen one-to-two times per week. Our Client Care Coordinator will help to get your weekly sessions scheduled with one of our amazing therapists.

Q: Will my insurance cover the necessary treatment?
A: Insurance coverage varies, but many health insurance plans cover our services. It is important that you contact your insurance company to verify speech therapy benefits and if the diagnosis you were given is covered under your specific policy. In many cases, insurance companies include a medical necessity clause, meaning that some diagnoses are not covered if they are not deemed medically necessary.
