Now Our Son Is Trying New Foods Weekly
SpeechForLife has been absolutely amazing with our son! He refused to eat most foods outside his comfort zone when we first got started. Now he is ordering at restaurants, and trying new foods weekly. Our therapist is extremely kind and patient, and our son looks forward to meeting with her every week.

We Love SpeechForLife!
We love SpeechForLife! They are very knowledgeable, personable, and focused on helping us reach our goals; my whole family has learned so much from them. Honestly, I wasn't sure if virtual therapy would work for our active 5-year-old, but both of our therapists are fantastic at engaging him and personalizing his sessions, they are always interactive and fun!

My Son Hated Speech & Now Loves it with SpeechForLife
SpeechForLife has been a blessing to our family. My son who hated speech when he was younger loves speech now. He now asks when he has speech as he enjoys it that much. Since he started speech a year ago... he has made great progress. I just started my younger son with speech... and he enjoys it as well. I highly recommend this company. Everyone we have worked with have been amazing.

Frequently asked questions
You're not alone, many clients come to us with a lot of questions. See the most common questions and answers here to guide you on your journey to find the best therapy partner for your child.
Should I "Wait and See?"
No, trust your instincts. You can stop the rising risk of your child being held back and instead enjoy seeing your child’s full potential, while hitting their growth milestones and restoring their confidence! So, schedule a complimentary video consultation with us today.
How would virtual therapy work for my toddler?
Every child is different, and that is the beauty of our approach to embrace each child’s interests and strengths to engage them in life changing interventions. Sometimes the calls are from the kitchen table high chair with snacks, others are on the floor with us “riding” on your phone virtually on a toy train track.
What should I expect in my consultation?
Your consultation is to help us learn about your concerns for your child, allow us to get to know each other, and explore your service options. Your video consultation will be approximately 10-15 minutes in length, so we can meet you and your child. We usually start with introductions, show and tell, and brief overview of concerns and treatment recommendations if indicated.
Once scheduled, you should promptly receive a confirmation email and an invitation to our client portal with several important consent documents to be completed.
You will recieve a link to your video consult a few minutes before your appointment time. You can download from the app or open the link in the browser on your device.
What technology do we need for teletherapy?
Our teletherapy platform is compatable with any updated computer with a mic and speakers, ipad or smartphone that is connected to stable Wifi. Our platform works best with a Google Chrome browser.
How does scheduling work?
After your consultation, our Client Care Coordinator will assist you in scheduling your evaluation. Once your child completes their evaluation and we agree on a plan of service, we work together to schedule a consistent therapy schedule for you and your child.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept private pay via credit card, Flex Savings Accounts, Health Savings Accounts, and we are providers of the Florida Empowerment Scholarship so our services are eligible for reimbursement via SUFS. All payments are due in full at time of service.
Do you take insurance?
We do not bill private insurance companies. SpeechForLife will be happy to provide a Superbill for you to track towards a deductible for your insurance company after services have been completed and paid in full at your request.
