Babel Speech Therapy is a participating Medicare provider and is in the process of becoming a vendor of the Regional Center of Orange County. It is an out-of-network provider for all other insurance companies at this time. Upon request, I can provide a superbill that can be submitted to your insurance company; you may be eligible for a reimbursement. It is the client’s responsibility to submit the superbill, and I cannot directly request or guarantee the reimbursement. I encourage all clients to look into their insurance coverage prior to starting services.
LSVT LOUDⓇ is an intensive speech treatment that was created for people with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurologic conditions. There is a wealth of data that shows it is an effective treatment to improve vocal loudness and speech clarity in these patient populations. See here for more information about LSVT LOUDⓇ.
An accent reflects where a person is from and is not a speech impediment; everyone speaks with an accent. However, accents can sometimes make communicating with others frustrating. Accent modification targets how to say certain sounds, as well as how to adjust the stress and rhythm of your speech to make it easier for others to understand. See here for more information about accent modification.
Although milestones are just one piece of the puzzle, if your child has not yet met age-appropriate communication milestones (see here and here for resources), a speech language evaluation may be warranted. Without an evaluation, it is difficult to make specific recommendations. However, I generally believe that if a child needs speech therapy, it is beneficial to start therapy sooner than later. In addition, early intervention not only benefits communication skills but strengthens overall development, including play and social skills.
