Q: Do you accept insurance?

A: At the Giggly Spot we do not accept insurance. Clients are advised to consult their individual providers to assess policy coverage and restrictions for out-of-network speech therapy. Many insurance companies may reimburse payments for speech and language therapy services. We provide a detailed monthly superbill, allowing clients to seek reimbursement from their insurance provider.

Q: What should I expect during the evaluation?

A: At Giggly Spot speech and language evaluation typically includes a dynamic assessment including standardized tests, informal measures, observation through play or conversation, and a parent interview.

Referrals to other professionals may be suggested if challenges extend beyond the scope of speech therapy.

A: Yes! Parents are strongly encouraged to participate in therapy sessions whenever possible.

Q: How long will my child need speech therapy?

A: The duration of therapy varies for each child, dependent on their individual progress and skill development. Consistent home practice and family engagement contribute to faster progress.

Q: Why telepractice?

A: Telepractice Giggly Spot speech therapy services offer several benefits that contribute to the effectiveness and accessibility of speech therapy. Telepractice eliminates geographical barriers, allowing individuals in remote or underserved areas to access speech therapy services. It provides flexibility and consistency in scheduling sessions, making it more convenient for clients and their families. Parents can play a more active role in telepractice sessions, as they are often present during the therapy sessions in the home environment. This allows for better integration of speech and language strategies into the child's daily routines. Telepractice eliminates the need for travel to and from therapy sessions, potentially reducing overall costs for both clients and therapists.
