At Blue Water Speech Therapy, we provide competent, research-driven speech, language, and feeding therapy services.  All services are provided by a Speech Language Pathologist certified by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association and state licensed.

Blue Water Speech Therapy does not currently bill insurance directly for speech and language services. All services are private pay and the payment is the responsibility of the parent.

Upon request, we will provide a monthly Superbill statement that includes diagnostic and treatment billing codes for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.  Our services are often covered by out-of-network benefits.  We encourage you to contact your insurance company prior to starting services to learn how much your plan will reimburse.

The fees for evaluations and treatments are due the day the service is provided.  We accept cash, check, Visa, Discover, American Express, MasterCard, and HSA.

Screenings

​We offer brief screenings to identify potential deficits in speech and language. If the screening indicates that further assessment is needed, the cost of the screening may be applied toward the cost of the evaluation. You may also call to set up an appointment for a FREE 10 minute phone consultation to discuss if an evaluation is recommended.
​

Comprehensive Evaluations

An evaluation is performed by a certified Speech Language Pathologist (SLP). Evaluations are in-depth analyses of your child's communication skills.  The SLP assesses your child's speech sounds and language skills using standardized tests.  You are then told whether or not your child qualifies for services. An individualized treatment plan is developed.  You and your pediatrician are provided with a report summarizing testing findings and goals for intervention.
​

Individual Therapy

A Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) will work with you using evidence based therapy techniques to address areas of concern.  The SLP works with your child to help overcome communication and feeding challenges using research-driven strategies and techniques. Parents are encouraged to participate in therapy in order to learn strategies for helping your child at home. Therapy is provided on location or via teletherapy.
