Helpful Information
Billing & Insurance
At this time, we are private pay only. We are working to create a superbill that clients may submit to their insurance companies for potential partial or full reimbursement. Speech Bubble Pediatric Therapy does not guarantee reimbursement from any insurance company.
Referrals
Referrals from schools and pediatricians are accepted; however, they are not necessary. A caregiver may refer a child on their own!

NO! Speech Bubble works with all children varying in age and in diagnosis.

Individuals have differences in the way their brains work. A neurodiversity-affirming practice acknowledges and honors that not all of these differences are "deficits" that need to be "fixed". Neurodiversity-affirming practices will use your child's strengths to help them progress towards their goals. We are moving far away from harmful behavioral methods that are frequently recommended to neurodivergent individuals with communication differences. At Speech Bubble, we respect all forms of communication and focus on your SPECIFIC child.
-
We always schedule a brief consultation prior to therapy in order to learn about your child, your specific or general concerns, and to answer any questions. Following a consultation, you will be provided with in-take documents where you will share your background information. This will help your speech-language pathologist plan for an evaluation and for treatment.
