We accept payment by cash and debit/credit card, including cards tied to Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). Additionally, speech therapy services may qualify for out-of-network reimbursement within your insurance plan. Payments will be collected at the time of service.

We come to you! Talk in the Nest provides speech-language therapy in the convenience of your home or a nearby outdoor space. We love being able to provide therapy in your child’s natural learning environment, where the child learns through play with both the therapist and caregiver.

Parent coaching sessions are also offered virtually through a HIPAA compliant platform.

Prices vary depending on the type of service (e.g., evaluation or treatment) and area of need. Contact us today to discuss important questions to ask your insurance provider regarding out-of-network services.

Although we recommend that your child completes an initial evaluation with Talk in the Nest, we may be able to begin treatment using details from a previous evaluation report if your child has completed testing elsewhere (e.g., at school) within the past six months. If you are planning to submit a superbill through your insurance, you will need to participate in a formal speech-language evaluation through Talk in the Nest.

Following your child’s initial evaluation, we will discuss a recommended length and frequency of therapy sessions. This is unique to each child and family.

Yes. Many families choose to receive private speech therapy in addition to services through their school district. Benefits of private speech therapy include the following:
- One-on-one therapy as opposed to group sessions
- Longer therapy sessions
- Parents or caregivers are invited to be active participants in the therapy sessions
- Parents or caregivers may choose to work with a private speech therapist who has specialized training so that therapy is tailored to the unique needs of their child and high outcomes are possible
- Many parents or caregivers choose to add private speech therapy during the summer so that their child can continue to make progress while not in school

Even if your child did not qualify for services through the school district, they can still receive speech-language therapy at Talk in the Nest, where our goal is to help children reach their full potential.

We welcome and encourage collaboration with other providers (e.g., school speech-language therapists, audiologists, occupational therapists, teachers, or mental health therapists) which helps us to provide the highest quality of care for your child. You will be asked to complete a release of information to authorize communication with other providers.

Neurodiversity affirming means that we believe neurological differences are a natural and expected variation of the brain. We believe that autism and ADHD are neurotypes, not diseases that need to be fixed. Our therapy prioritizes regulation, understanding, connection, and authentic communication.

A Listening and Spoken Language Specialist, Certified Auditory Verbal Therapist (LSLS, Cert AVT) is a professional who has received extensive post-graduate training to work with children who are deaf or hard of hearing and developing listening and spoken language skills. The principles of the LSLS Cert AVT include promoting early diagnosis of hearing loss and optimal audiological management, guiding and coaching parents to become the primary facilitators of their child’s listening and spoken language (through attending Auditory Verbal Therapy, promoting auditory skill development, and using natural patterns of listening, speech, and language development), and promoting education in regular schools with typical hearing peers, whenever possible, along with appropriate services from early childhood and beyond.

As a Listening and Spoken Language Specialist, Certified Auditory-Verbal Therapist, I guide parents to help their children develop spoken communication through interaction and play. If you have a child who is deaf or hard of hearing, we can work together to help your child reach their highest potential!

The amount of time a child spends with their speech-language therapist is limited as compared to the amount of time a child spends with their caregivers. Additionally, parents are the child’s first and most important teacher. At Talk in the Nest, we empower parents to participate in therapy and reinforce the work in the child’s daily routines. This approach places high value on the relationship that children have with their parents, and it allows children to make the greatest progress towards their speech and language goals.

Yes – We offer a free, 20-minute phone consultation for new clients. During this phone call, you have the opportunity to tell us about your child and determine if we might be a good fit for therapy.
