How We Help Children Communicate with Confidence:
Our Speech Therapy Approach
Our approach to speech therapy is rooted in understanding the whole child. We know that every child communicates differently, which is why we tailor each session to their strengths, goals, and personality.
Therapy sessions are child-led, developmentally appropriate, and often play-based. We incorporate the latest language techniques, such as PROMPT, PECS, social stories, AAC systems, and functional language activities to make progress feel natural and fun. We also partner closely with parents and caregivers to reinforce skills outside of therapy.
Our ultimate goal? To help your child feel empowered, confident, and connected through clearer, stronger communication.

Speech Therapy FAQs
Does insurance cover speech therapy?
In many cases, yes — speech therapy is covered by health insurance. Our team can help you understand your plan’s coverage and navigate any referral or pre-authorization requirements.
What age should a child see a speech therapist?
Children can benefit from speech therapy as early as infancy, depending on their needs. If you notice delays in speech, language, feeding, or social communication, it’s a good idea to schedule an evaluation.
What is the difference between a speech therapist and a speech pathologist?
There’s no difference — “speech therapist” and “speech-language pathologist” (SLP) refer to the same trained professional. At Weisman Children’s, all of our SLPs are licensed and certified to provide speech and language therapy.
How much should I expect to pay for speech therapy?
Costs vary based on insurance coverage and the frequency of therapy sessions. We’ll work with your insurance provider and offer transparent billing support to make therapy as accessible as possible.
How often will my child need pediatric speech therapy sessions?
The frequency depends on your child’s needs and goals. Some children attend weekly, while others benefit from more frequent sessions. We’ll customize a speech therapy schedule that aligns with your child’s developmental stage and your family’s routine.
How do I know my child needs speech therapy?
If your child is hard to understand, talks less than other kids, has trouble following directions, or gets upset when trying to talk, speech therapy might help. We can see how they’re doing now and suggest the best next steps.
