Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make an appointment?
You can make an appointment by using our contact form, texting/calling 606-259-9259, or sending an email to slp@affirmabilities.com. I’ll reach back out with appointment times to set up an evaluation.
Do you take insurance?
Here, we offer personalized, high-quality speech therapy services on a private pay basis. Choosing private pay means you can receive timely and flexible therapy without the limitations or delays sometimes associated with insurance coverage. This allows us to tailor sessions specifically to your or your child’s unique needs, with a focus on effective and individualized care.
You can still take advantage of your out of network insurance benefits. Before beginning services, please speak with your insurance provider and ask about out of network coverage for speech therapy. We are happy to provide the necessary documentation for families to independently submit to their insurance companies for reimbursement. I can help you with this process if needed.
If you have questions about private pay options, session rates, or scheduling, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Payment options
AffirmAbilities Pediatric Therapy accepts cash, check, and all major credit cards. You may also pay for therapy using your HSA or FSA accounts.
What is your availability?
Multiple appointment times are offered throughout the week to accommodate busy families. Please reach out for current availability.
How long will my child need therapy?
The number of sessions varies based on many factors: family’s finances, availability, the child’s current abilities, diagnoses, and more. There is no one answer for how long your child will need therapy. We will work together closely to determine a treatment plan that is best for your child and your family and continue to assess as therapy progresses.
How do in-home sessions work?
In-home speech therapy brings professional support right to your doorstep! Here’s what to expect:
Initial Evaluation: Our licensed speech therapist visits your home to assess your child’s communication skills and create a personalized plan of care.
Flexible Scheduling: We work around your family’s schedule to set regular sessions at times that suit you best.
Comfortable Environment: Therapy takes place in a familiar, relaxed setting using engaging activities and toys your child enjoys. No need to buy fancy toys or therapy materials. Using the child’s toys and natural environment ensures that you and your child can continue working on therapy goals throughout the week. Our therapists might bring some additional activities, but carryover activities and parent education will be based on what’s right there in your home!
Parent Involvement: A caregiver must be present at home during therapy sessions. You’re encouraged to participate int he session in order to learn strategies to help your child between sessions if you can.
Progress Tracking: We regularly review your child’s progress and adjust goals to keep them moving forward!
Safety First: Our therapists follow strict hygiene and safety protocols to keep your family safe. Please let us known prior to the evaluation if you have specific health or safety concerns due to allergies or medical diagnoses.
