Early intervention is key in supporting optimal language growth, and we always encourage families to speak with a speech therapist to see if therapy would be supportive for their child. We provide free phone consultations to discuss your observations and concerns, which can help determine if a language evaluation is warranted. 

The duration of therapy varies, depending on your child's language goals, family involvement, and the child's connection with their therapist. In-home therapy sessions are 45 minutes in length, and initial evaluations are 60 minutes. 

Abide Speech and Language specializes in AAC evaluations, funding reports, and treatment. An AAC evaluation typically spans the course of several months, and involves assessment with several different speech-generating devices to determine the most optimal fit for your child. Once the device is approved by your health insurance, follow-up treatment sessions are recommended, which include coaching specific to device implementation, software editing, and aided language modeling. 

Abide Speech and Language offers seasonal meetups at local parks for families and their children who use AAC. This can be a wonderful way to build your child's confidence in using their device and provides connection opportunities for families. Please contact us for more information if you are interested! 

At this time, we are accepting private pay only, and are happy to provide information on how to submit a superbill to your insurance provider. Session rates depend on the nature of the therapy provided. We are in the process of joining the Regence provider network.
