Speech Therapy Services
Sessions and evaluations take place at your home, daycare, ABA, preschool, or anywhere else your child spends the time!

Virtual (telehealth) sessions are an excellent option for families who live outside our in-person service area! Virtual sessions are fun, effective, and secure through out HIPAA-compliant online portal. Learn more about virtual therapy services here.
An evaluation is an assessment of your child's communication skills, including language comprehension and expression, speech sound production, voice, fluency, and/or social skills. A formal evaluation report is available following our session, as well as a customized treatment plan and home program recommendations.
An individualized treatment plan is designed to target your child's exact needs. Family participation is encouraged, and home program recommendations will be provided for additional practice between sessions.
Intensive programs are also available and planned on a case-by-case basis.
An AAC (Alternative/Augmentative Communication) evaluation consists of multiple steps. First, a comprehensive evaluation is completed to determine your child's current skills. Next, we trial communication device(s) or program(s) across multiple therapy sessions. An individualized recommendation will be made and a funding application completed, if applicable.
An individualized home program is created for all Blue Sage families. We also offer separate, in-depth parent coaching and education sessions. This option is great for families whose children have graduated from therapy, but would still benefit from a "maintenance" plan. Families may also select this service based on individualized needs such as scheduling, preference, or budget.
Benefits of Private Speech & Language Therapy For Children
Insurance often puts restrictions and limitations on speech therapy, which ultimately can impact the quality of services your child receives. Blue Sage Pediatric Speech & Language Therapy provides individualized, private care that strengthens speech and language skills to set children up for success in the rest of their lives!
With no long waiting periods for pre-authorization or insurance approval, we can often schedule your child's evaluation within 1-2 weeks of our initial phone call. Therapy can begin immediately afterward. You get immediate support, and your child begins therapy right away.
Private therapy isn’t limited by insurance rules or session caps. Together, we decide the frequency and goals that best support your child, so your investment in therapy directly improves your child's day to day life.
Insurance changes can interrupt, reduce, or completely discontinue therapy, but private services ensure your child’s care continues without disruption. Your family stays in control and your child keeps moving forward.
You’ll always know exactly what to expect. Together, we’ll create a Good Faith Estimate that outlines the cost of your child’s treatment, so there are never any hidden fees or surprise bills.
We offer several flexible payment options processed through our secure, HIPAA-compliant portal (credit card, HSA, FSA.) Paperwork is completed online in just a few clicks and you can always contact us through the portal messaging system or by phone. You have direct access to your therapist!
When insurance pays for your child's therapy, they often request clinical information about your child's difficulties, as well as copies of evaluation reports and progress notes. Private therapy means that your child's information stays in your hands.
