All new individual therapy clients begin with a 60-minute Initial Assessment Session. This visit allows us to understand your child’s communication profile, review previous reports, and develop a personalized therapy plan. A written summary and recommendations are provided following the session.

Comprehensive evaluations are recommended only when additional diagnostic clarification or formal documentation is needed.

Harbor Speech Co. works primarily with elementary, middle school, and high school students who need support with speech clarity, language development, and social communication.

Services are designed for school-age learners navigating academic expectations, peer relationships, and real-world communication.

Services for toddlers, preschool-aged children, feeding/swallowing therapy, AAC evaluation, and fluency therapy are not currently offered.

If your child’s needs fall outside this focus, we are happy to help guide you toward appropriate resources.

Harbor Speech Co. is in-network with Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) and also welcomes private-pay clients. Superbills are available for families who wish to pursue out-of-network reimbursement. In-network participation with Cigna is currently pending.

Appointments are reserved exclusively for your child. At least 24 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule.

Late cancellations and no-shows may be charged the full session fee. One late cancellation per family may be waived annually at the therapist’s discretion.

Full policy details are reviewed in your intake paperwork prior to beginning services.

Progress is continuously monitored through session data, observation, and functional communication improvements. Formal re-evaluation is recommended only when clinically appropriate rather than on a fixed yearly schedule.

Families receive written progress updates twice per year.

Therapy duration varies based on your child’s goals and needs. Some families seek short-term support, while others benefit from ongoing services.

Discharge is recommended when skills generalize into daily environments and goals have been met. Short-term check-ins are always welcome if new concerns arise.

Parent Consultations are available for caregivers who want professional guidance before committing to ongoing therapy. These sessions provide clarity, practical strategies, and informed next steps.

At this time, Harbor Speech Co. specializes in speech sound disorders, language-based services, and social communication for school-age children and teens. Services such as feeding therapy, AAC evaluations, and fluency therapy are not currently offered.
