  • Evaluation

    We recommend all new clients receive an assessment of their speech/language abilities in order to determine strengths and identify goal areas for intervention. Your speech-language pathologist will first work with you and your child to identify strengths and challenges. Then together you will develop an individualized plan of care based on your family’s goals and objectives. We provide comprehensive evaluation in the following areas:

    • expressive and receptive language

    • speech sound disorders

    • gestalt language processing

    • AAC

    • assistive technology

    • motor speech disorders

    • social communication & self-advocacy skills

  • Speech & Language Therapy

    We are experts in providing highly individualized, child- and family-led therapy tailored to your child’s unique strengths and interests. Our speech-language pathologists are specialists in the following areas:

    • expressive and receptive language

    • speech sound disorders

    • early language development

    • gestalt language processing & natural language acquisition

    • childhood apraxia of speech

    • AAC and assistive technology

    • social skills & self-advocacy support

    Parent coaching and consultation are included with every session, as well as recommendations for home practice.

  • Caregiver Training & Consultation

    Our speech-language pathologists are experts in family & caregiver coaching. Coaching services empower families by helping families to understand their child’s needs and support their development at home. Coaching begins with a child and family-centered plan of care that targets your family’s unique challenges and goals. Caregiver coaching can help your family:

    • learn strategies to help strengthen your child’s communication & social development

    • develop a neurodiversity-affirming perspective

    • feel more confident navigating your child’s AAC system and modeling language using their device

    • advocate for your child and support their communication at home, school, and in the community

    • access resources and connect with other caregivers to form a supportive community

  • AAC Training & Consultation

    Many children and adults may benefit from the use of an alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) system. AAC is any system that supplements or replaces speech as a form of communication.

    We promote a “total communication approach” that values all methods of communication equally. Whether an individual uses speech, typing, gestures, signs, symbols, or a speech-generating device to communicate, all forms of communication are honored. A key component of this approach is communication partner training. We provide coaching and consultation to families, professionals, and schools to help them become effective communication partners and teachers for AAC users.

Right to Receive a “Good Faith Estimate” Under the No Surprises Act

Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of all medical services. At Speech Bee, we provide all privately paying clients with a Good Faith Estimate prior to their first scheduled session and will continue to provide regularly updated estimates as long as services continue or at any time at your request.
