Frequently asked questions

When should my child start speech therapy?

Early intervention is most effective — if your child isn't meeting language milestones, is hard to understand, or struggles socially, a free consult is the simplest first step. We work with children from infancy through school age.

Do you come to our home?

Yes — in-home is our primary model, including East County (La Mesa, Santee, El Cajon) where our SLP is based. Telehealth is available anywhere in California.

Do you support AAC users?

Yes — we provide AAC evaluation, device selection support, and ongoing therapy using a neuroaffirming, communication-first approach. Every child deserves a voice.

Do you take insurance?

Yes — in-network with UnitedHealthcare, Optum, TriCare West, and Cigna/ASH. Also a SDRC & IRC Early Start vendor (HQ2449 / PJ6193) for early intervention. Transparent private-pay rates available. Don't see your plan? Call us — other options are often available.
