Lilypad Speech & Language Therapy exclusively accepts private payments for our services. We accept credit, debit, HSA, or FSA cards through a secure client web portal. In order to help you get reimbursed for services from your insurance company, we automatically provide a monthly superbill of services rendered, which you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. It's is the responsibility of the client to verify with your insurance provider whether they accept and reimburse superbills. Opting for private pay brings several benefits: there's no need for a referral from a primary care physician to initiate therapy, no annual limits on visit numbers, comprehensive coverage across all therapy interventions without restrictions, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and personalized care from our therapists who can focus more on your needs rather than administrative paperwork typically associated with insurance claims.

At Lilypad, we specialize in treating a wide range of speech and language disorders. Our Early Intervention services cater to children aged birth to 3 who experience delays in communication milestones. We offer targeted therapies for fluency disorders like stuttering or cluttering, which affect speech smoothness. For school-aged children, we address language disorders impacting comprehension and expression in spoken and written language, potentially affecting academic performance. We also provide specialized care for articulation and phonology disorders, addressing both functional and organic issues affecting speech clarity. Finally, we treat voice disorders and motor speech disorders like Apraxia of Speech, which can pose challenges in speech production.We have experience with children on the spectrum and work with a variety of communication modalities such as AAC Devices (Augmentative Assisted Communication Device). 

At Lilypad, our speech therapy process begins with a complimentary 15-minute consultation call, where we take the time to understand your concerns and goals. Following this, we arrange an initial evaluation that involves playful interactions with your child, parent interviews, and possibly some brief standardized assessments. After completing the evaluation, we compile a comprehensive report and develop a personalized treatment plan that includes both short-term and long-term goals for your child. We believe in collaboration and value your input throughout this process, as you know your child best. Therapy sessions are then scheduled weekly or twice weekly, tailored to meet your child's specific needs and progress. Our ultimate aim at Lilypad is to support your child in achieving their goals and gaining the confidence to successfully communicate.

Predicting the duration of speech therapy can be challenging, as every child has individual strengths and challenges. Your speech therapist will collaborate with you to establish goals, introduce a home program, and provide regular updates on your child’s progress, ensuring you remain involved in every aspect of their treatment.
