While we are not in-network with insurance plans, we provide monthly superbills that families can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Many families with PPO plans receive partial reimbursement for speech-language services. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to learn more about your specific benefits.

Tutoring focuses on teaching academic content and helping students complete schoolwork. Speech-language therapy addresses the underlying language, literacy, and phonological processing skills that impact reading, spelling, writing, and comprehension. By targeting the root causes of a child's difficulties, therapy can support lasting improvements across academic settings.

This all depends on the individual child. We tailor our recommendations based on the child and their family’s specific needs. Sessions range from 30 minutes to one hour, with shorter sessions usually more appropriate for younger children. Most students attend therapy once or twice a week. A comprehensive speech, language, and literacy assessment will determine the best fit for your child.

Intelligence and language abilities are not the same thing. Some children have excellent ideas but struggle to organize their thoughts, find the right words, explain concepts clearly, or tell coherent stories. These difficulties can affect classroom participation, writing, social interactions, and academic performance. A comprehensive language evaluation can help identify whether underlying expressive language weaknesses are contributing to these challenges.

Reading comprehension and writing rely heavily on language skills. Children who have difficulty understanding vocabulary, making inferences, organizing ideas, or formulating sentences often experience challenges when reading and writing. Addressing underlying language weaknesses can improve a child's ability to understand text, communicate ideas effectively, and succeed academically.

Yes. Speech-language pathologists are trained to evaluate the language skills that support reading, writing, and literacy development. Because dyslexia is characterized by difficulties with word recognition, decoding, spelling, and phonological processing, SLPs are uniquely qualified to assess many of the underlying skills associated with dyslexia.

Most children do not simply outgrow dyslexia or language-based learning difficulties. Early identification and intervention are associated with better long-term outcomes. If your child is consistently struggling with reading, spelling, writing, or comprehension, an evaluation can help determine whether additional support is needed.

Yes. We use an Orton-Gillingham-based approach that is structured, explicit, and multisensory. Instruction targets phonological awareness, decoding, encoding (spelling), and reading fluency while incorporating language skills that support reading comprehension and written expression.

Parents are often the first to notice when something isn't quite right. If concerns persist despite reassurance from school staff, a private evaluation can provide a more detailed understanding of your child's language, literacy, and learning profile. The goal is to identify strengths and areas of need so families can make informed decisions about support.

Our comprehensive evaluations examine the skills that contribute to successful reading and writing. Depending on the child's age and concerns, testing may include phonological awareness, decoding, word reading, spelling, reading fluency, reading comprehension, oral language, vocabulary, listening comprehension, and written language skills.
