FAQ

  • Where does treatment happen?

    Treatment sessions will take place in your home. This is a great opportunity as it saves you time as well as allowing the child to work in his natural environment.

    A quiet place in your home, such as a kitchen table, or a living room floor, will be the best place for therapy. Limited distractions and creating a quiet environment are also important.

  • What does treatment look like?

    Treatment feels like PLAY to your child. This is important because motivation is a factor in your child’s progress. Play creates a natural and engaging environment for your child’s language skills to blossom.

    To you, treatment may look like toy play, but I will be coaching you on what goal each activity is targeting.

  • How long and often are sessions?

    Sessions are once a week for 30-45 minutes, depending on your schedule and preference.

  • Can I go through my insurance?

    I only accept private pay at this time. Payment is due at time of service. However, upon request I can provide a Super Bill for you to give to your insurance for possible reimbursement. No guarantees are made about what insurance will cover, however.

  • Do I need to be present for your sessions?

    Parent education is a large part of my treatment approach. I would prefer if a caregiver was involved in the sessions.

  • Are there options other than Speech Sprouts in the community?

    YES! Duluth has many options for speech-language pathology services. These include your medical center, the University of Minnesota-Duluth, your school district, and another private-pay provider.
