WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my child need speech?
We receive many phone calls and messages that begin with this question. That is why we offer a free 30-minute consultation. This provides you with an opportunity to meet a licensed speech-language pathologist and have your questions answered as soon as possible.
As a caregiver or parent, if you have any concerns regarding your child's speech and language do not hesitate to contact us. The earlier the intervention the better the outcome! Each child is unique and so is their development and plan of care.
At Thankfully Inspired, LLC you will get supportive, encouraging, and specialized interventions. We are grateful to support you on this journey.
What are the ages of the clients you may serve?
Thankfully Inspired specializes in pediatric practice that serves children of all ages from infants and toddlers up through young adults; However, we also serve some adult clients with speech, language, communication, swallowing and voice disorders.
My child did not qualify for speech therapy through the school or Early Intervention. Will he be eligible for private speech therapy?
Children must meet stringent criteria to be eligible for special education services (outlined by the Department of Education) or Early Intervention (outlined by the Department of Health & Human Services). Standardized test scores must fall at least 1.5 standard deviations below the mean scores (equivalent to a “severe” deficit or impairment), and there needs to be a significant social and/or educational impact.
Scores in the area of communication are typically combined to be analyzed as one skill set that includes what the child is understanding as well as what he can express. Children who demonstrate strong comprehension skills but poor expressive language often do not qualify for services. Children who demonstrate articulation errors also may not be eligible if these errors are not considered to have a significant educational impact.
Additionally, these systems are not equipped to serve students with mild to moderate impairments who may be struggling and who demonstrate a need for skilled intervention, which is one of the reasons Thankfully Inspired was founded!
What does a session look like?
We believe that this collaboration with caregivers and education throughout the session are key ingredients to the child's success! A wide range of fun and developmentally appropriate activities and games, toys, books, and software are utilized to motivate and facilitate your child's learning throughout the session. A speech therapy session note and invoice are provided for each session.
How often will therapy happen?
The unique needs of each individual are considered when recommending therapy. Most children receive 1 - 2 sessions per week. This may be subject to change based on the child's response to therapy.
What insurances do you accept?
We are certified with TRICARE and an out-of-network provider with others.
For out-of-network patients, you are expected to pay for services at the time of service. We will provide, upon request, the appropriate documentation including a “superbill” or an itemized invoice with diagnosis and treatment codes that you may submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement.
Depending upon your health plan, your insurance carrier may reimburse some or all of the costs of services. We accept ALL credit cards, and health savings account cards.
