Frequently Asked Questions
1. How effective is speech therapy for adults, and how long does it take?
Therapy can be highly effective, but the length of time needed depends on the severity of the problem and individual progress. Some adults may need a few months, while others may benefit from longer-term support. Practice in between sessions is critical for improvement.
2. Will accent modification get rid of my accent?
Accent modification does not eliminate accents. Working on certain sounds or aspects like stress and intonation can support individuals in being more understandable or increase their confidence as communicators in English.
3. What can I do to maintain my progress outside of therapy sessions?
Practicing exercises given by your speech-language pathologist, using speech apps, and engaging in regular social interactions can help reinforce progress made in therapy.
4. Is private speech therapy covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover private speech therapy. You will need to check with your insurance provider to determine how much coverage you will receive.
5. Do you do direct billing?
Yes! Many insurance companies allow speech-language pathologists to direct bill but not all of them. If your insurance company does not allow for direct billing, a receipt will be provided that can be submitted for reimbursement.
