Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect from an evaluation report?
Each evaluation report includes:
Referral Information & Guardian Concerns – A summary of the reason for referral and caregiver observations.
Background & Developmental History – Relevant medical, developmental, and educational history.
Summary of Testing Results – Findings from the evaluation, including strengths and areas of need.
Recommendations for Services – Suggested therapy frequency, goals, and next steps.
A hard copy and digital report will be provided during the 30-minute evaluation results review meeting. Reports can also be shared with doctors, school staff, or other therapists upon request; however, a signed release of records is required before sending any medical information to third parties.
Do you accept insurance?
At this time, Growing Voices Speech Therapy is an out-of-network provider and does not accept insurance. However, we do accept HSA and FSA payments. A superbill can be provided, upon request, to be submitted for possible reimbursement to your insurance provider. Insurance reimbursement is not guaranteed. Call and speak with your insurance provider about more information regarding out-of-network claims.
Do you offer summer only services?
We offer both after school sessions during the academic year and summer speech therapy. For families interested in summer-only, sessions are available from mid-June through the end of August at the following rates:
30-Minute Session: $65
45-Minute Session: $85
If your child has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) that is current, an evaluation may be waived if a copy of the IEP is provided before services begin.
