Keep Communication Skills Growing
Year-Round Online Support for Kids

Whether your child needs ongoing practice, a seasonal boost, or help with specific speech sounds, individualized online speech therapy provides consistent, playful learning — without the stress of travel. Services are designed to progress skills, build confidence, and support your child’s communication journey.

Highlights:
  • Client and Family-Centered Care
  • Therapy aligned with your child’s individual needs 
  • Support for speech sound disorders (articulation and phonological processes) and fluency (stuttering)
  • Interactive, engaging one-on-one sessions
  • 30-minute online appointments
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Private pay only
  • HSA/FSA cards may be used, depending on your plan

Before therapy begins, we’ll start with an evaluation to better understand your child’s strengths and areas of need. This helps us tailor therapy just for them. We’ll also work together to determine whether online therapy is a good fit for your child’s needs, attention, and comfort level.

FAQ

Q. Is there a minimum age for teletherapy?
A. Teletherapy can be effective for many children. About Voice accepts online clients who are age 5 and up.

Q. What if my child is younger than 5?
A. For younger children, sessions focus on parent coaching and play-based strategies you can use at home.

Q. Will I as the parent have to attend the sessions?
A. A parent or caregiver is always encouraged — and often required — to participate in sessions, especially with younger children.

Q. What matters more than age?
A. Teletherapy works best when a child can:
  • Sit and engage for a few minutes at a time
  • Follow simple directions
  • Tolerate screen interaction
  • Have a caregiver present and involved
  • Access toys or materials at home

Q. When is teletherapy not recommended?
A. Teletherapy may not be the best fit if your child has:

  • Very short attention span
  • Behavior or sensory needs that make screen time stressful
  • Significant physical or motor needs
  • Safety concerns
  • Limited access to space, technology, or privacy

Q. Can I learn strategies to help my child?
A. Absolutely! Through parent coaching, you’ll learn practical strategies you can use during everyday routines to support your child’s speech and communication. This approach can be especially helpful when teletherapy isn’t the best fit for your child at this time. Parent-coaching sessions are billed at the same rate as direct therapy sessions.

Q. What is required before therapy sessions begin?
A. These steps are completed prior to starting therapy:
  • Free brief consultation to discuss your concerns and determine together whether services are a good fit
  • Referral information from your medical provider or school (if applicable)
  • Speech-language evaluation to understand strengths, needs, and recommendations
  • Review and signing of consent and practice policies
  • Confirmation that you/your child will be located in Wisconsin during each session (required for teletherapy services)
  • Payment and billing arrangements
  • Clients should confirm HSA/FSA eligibility with their plan
  • Preparing your space for teletherapy:
    • Choose a quiet space with a stable internet connection
    • Use a device with a camera and microphone
    • Parent or caregiver participation is encouraged and sometimes required — especially for younger children

Q. What will happen at my consultation?
A. Your free 10-minute consultation is a welcoming space to talk about your goals and any challenges you or your child may be experiencing. Together, we’ll decide whether online therapy at About Voice is the right fit. If another type of support would be more helpful, we’re happy to guide you toward other resources.

Q. What are your prices?
A. Prices for the initial evaluation and for each treatment session are as follows:

​Speech Therapy Evaluation - $220
This evaluation examines speech function when there are concerns about speech sound production (articulation or phonological processes) or fluency (stuttering). The assessment helps identify strengths and areas of need so we can set meaningful goals and develop a therapy plan tailored to you or your child.

Speech Therapy Session (30 minutes) - $87
This therapy session supports individuals experiencing challenges with speech sound production (articulation or phonological processes) or fluency (stuttering). Therapy targets meaningful communication goals using techniques matched to your needs.

Q. What's the difference between articulation challenges and phonological processes? 
A. Articulation issues happen when a child has trouble physically making a specific sound, like saying “wabbit” for “rabbit” because the /r/ sound is hard to produce. However, phonological processes are consistent error patterns in how a child uses sounds — for example saying “tee” for “tree” or “doat” for “goat.” These patterns often affect many sounds, not just one.

Q. Do you accept insurance?
A. About Voice is currently a private-pay practice. Payment is made directly by clients using cash or credit card.
In Wisconsin, speech-language pathologists are not permitted to accept private payment from clients who have Medicaid or Medicare coverage, even if they wish to pay out-of-pocket. If you or your child has Medicaid or Medicare benefits, we will be happy to help you find another provider who can support you.

While insurance is not billed directly, a Superbill (an itemized receipt for services) can be provided for you to submit to your insurance company to see whether out-of-network reimbursement is available. Coverage varies widely, so we encourage families to contact their insurance provider before beginning services to ask about out-of-network speech-therapy benefits.

HSA/FSA cards may be used, depending on your plan’s eligibility guidelines.
