Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?

Ask your pediatrician to send a referral for a speech language evaluation + treatment to rebecca.moore@blickcenter.org or Fax it to: 330-762-4019. Send us a message with your contact information and we’ll be in touch to collect your insurance details.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes! We accepted most all major insurances, including Medicaid. For families who do not have insurance coverage for speech therapy or who wish to make other arrangements, we offer one of the area’s lowest private pay rates.

I have concerns about my toddler. What age do you start seeing clients?

Great Question! If you have concerns, reach out. No age is too young. In general I start seeing my youngest clients around 15 months of age. If you are concerned, ask your doctor for a referral.

My child is getting services through early intervention or their local school district. Can we get additional therapy at your clinic?

Yes. Speech language therapy under an IFSP or IEP are free public services that are mandated by federal law. We offer insurance based services or private pay in an outpatient setting. These are two different systems that do not overlap. You CAN do both and in fact we highly recommend stacking these services. The combination of both School speech/Early Intervention and Clinic based therapy often results in the best growth and biggest improvements. We collaborate with school/Early Intervention providers to provide the best level of care.

How long are therapy sessions?

Pediatric speech sessions are 30 minutes long and scheduled weekly. We have found 30 minutes is the just right amount of time for children to do their best work.

What Disorders do you treat?

Speech therapy includes a wide range of different diagnoses. We see children who can’t make their sounds correctly, children who have difficulty understanding and using language, children who stutter, and children who are delayed reaching their communication milestones.

I see you are a specialist in Childhood Apraxia of Speech. What is that?

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a neurological based speech disorder that makes it difficult for a child to plan the movements needed for speech. Children with CAS can make tremendous gains in therapy but benefit from multimodal cues and high levels of repetitions. Rebecca is trained in DTTC (Dynamic Temporal Tactile Cues) and is an experienced provider listed on ApraxiaKids.

Do you offer teletherapy services?

Yes. For many kids and families teletherapy is an ideal option that reduces travel time and eliminates barriers to scheduling and regular attendance.
