Do you accept insurance?
Beginning September 22, 2026, we will no longer accept insurance. A superbill can be provided upon request. Submission of a superbill to your insurance does not guarantee reimbursement. Families are encouraged to contact their insurance company using the phone number on the back of their insurance care. You can ask about your out of network benefits and what is covered for feeding or speech therapy.
Do you have private pay options?
Yes, we have the ability to see out of network patients and support potential reimbursement of services with a superbill.
Where will services be provided?
Services are provided in our Rockford, IL office. We also offer in home therapy. This is based on a patient's needs and the therapist's availability.
Do you offer teletherapy?
Yes, we do have a teletherapy option. We can determine whether teletherapy is an option for your family after an in-person evaluation.
What does an evaluation include, and how long do they last?
All evaluations include a parent or patient interview, a comprehensive assessment, and some initial impressions. Evaluations typically last 60-90 minutes. A full report and treatment plan are completed after the evaluation and sent to the family via our patient portal. If therapy is recommended, we will work to get you scheduled.
Are parents or caregivers allowed in therapy sessions?
YES! In fact, we encourage that. We want you to be a part of this process and understand the how and why of what we are doing in therapy. We find this helps with carryover at home too. We just ask that any siblings that attend are monitored throughout the entire session.
Will you collaborate with other professionals on the patient's team?
Yes! This is very important to us and something we make a priority. We understand that we are often one part of the solution, and communication with others is necessary to get the best outcomes for our patients.
My child did not qualify for Early Intervention or school-based services, can you still work with them?
Yes. Our approach to therapy is very specialized and we are able to treat areas of development with a different approach than what may be offered in other settings.
