Private Speech Therapy

---

There are amazing speech and language therapists available for private hire across the city and beyond. Many have experience with Childhood Apraxia of Speech or other motor-planning delays. 

Costs can vary but are generally between $125 and $160 per session. If you have group insurance a part of this is generally covered. Contact your employer's group insurance plan to find out how much is covered.
