My 4 year old twins are in need of some speech therapy. I have been hoping they would outgrow their stuttering and other speech problems. I am unsure about going through the schools, and wonder if anyone knows of a provate speech therapist or some ideas of things we could do at home?
Thanks so much

Tina,
I have used Explorabilities (they are on Copper 268-798 for speech therapy for my son. I liked them but have also heard very good things about Kidpower (Pan American Fwy NE 888-4469). You could call them to see if they take your insurance. They will do their own speech evaluation and write a report with their recommendations. As a home schooling parent you are entitled to anxillary services through the public schools but you may need to get Parents Reaching Out to help you. I would go the insurance route if I were you but going through the schools has no out of pocket expense.
Hope that helps.

| My kids also go to ExploreAbilities, they are great. They do have a 4-6 month waitlist, and I hear that's case for other places as well. So I would recommend calling as soon as you can. |

Thank you ladies, as soon as I find out what insurance we will have I will check those out. I might call and see what my options are. I wonder if I need a doctors recomendation?
I did just have their hearing tested and they did great. So I feel this is our next step.
Thanks so much.... everyone on this list has been so helpful. It is making our transition much easier! |
