Helpful Information

You do not need to know exactly what kind of support your child needs before reaching out. If you have concerns about your child’s speech, language, communication, fluency, or ability to be understood, we can talk through what you are noticing and help determine whether an evaluation may be helpful. Contact us to schedule a no-cost consultation call.

We work with toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children with a wide range of communication needs.

We provide neurodiversity-affirming care, emphasize parent coaching, and integrate our self-advocacy first approach into treatment plans for all of our clients. Each child’s communication profile is unique, and our treatment reflects that individuality.

Blue Sage is a mobile outpatient speech therapy provider, meaning sessions take place in your child’s natural environment. This may include home, daycare, private school, or another appropriate community setting within our North San Antonio service area. Teletherapy may also be available for families located elsewhere in Texas when it is clinically appropriate.

Our goal is to give you practical ways to support communication at home, so your child continues making progress outside of sessions.

Yes! We believe in a team approach to therapy. We will gladly coordinate care with physicians, schools, other therapists, and ABA centers to help your child receive the best care possible.

Your insurance plan may have separate referral or documentation requirements if you intend to seek out of network reimbursement, so we recommend checking your individual benefits.

Blue Sage is a private-pay speech therapy practice and does not bill insurance directly. This allows us to focus all of our energy on supporting your child.

Superbills are available for families who would like to submit services to their insurance company for possible out of network reimbursement. Reimbursement is determined by your individual insurance plan and cannot be guaranteed by Blue Sage.

We are not currently an approved vendor for TEFA funds.

The first step is to reach out and tell us a little about your child and what you have been noticing. We will help determine whether we are the right fit for your family, answer any initial questions, and guide you through next steps.
