Speech therapy is an assessment of a child’s speech and language competence, performed by a SLP (Speech-Language Pathologist), coupled with treatment of any speech disorder, language disorder, or communication problem that would inhibit the child from speaking as a person would without a speech condition. Speech therapy can help children with speech and language disorders conquer their speech issues through practice and repetition, giving them the confidence to carry on normal conversations in everyday life without the fear of embarrassment. ___________________________________ Get a FREE Speech Therapy Consultation >> ___________________________________See more
Avoid at all costs because they only want your money, and will not provide you the services that you've paid for. Their auto-billing and costs are ridiculous, and while there is promise to work with you for insurance purposes post-payment, they do not help you as they have already been paid by you. There is no incentive for them to help you to (1) receive the services you've paid for, and (2) receive reimbursement from insurance.
Taylor was amazing! She helped me so much.
My experience with Better Speech was extremely frustrating on multiple levels. 1. Outdated Platform: The booking system is clunky and inefficient. Every time you schedule a session, you must manually re-enter your name, email, and phone number — nothing is saved. You also can’t book sessions in advance — only your therapist can. This means you have to create two reminders: one for your upcoming session and another a few days later just to log in and try to book the next one (because availability is rarely open more than a week in advance). Even worse, the platform displayed my booking in Central Time while showing it to the therapist in Eastern Time, which caused my therapist to arrive an hour late. 2. Unprofessional Therapist: My second therapist spent over 95% of both sessions talking about therapy theory, his own qualifications, and how many sessions I supposedly need. There were no real exercises, no personalization, and no practical therapy. I gave it two tries, thinking the first might have been an introduction, but the second session was just more of the same. This was not therapy — it was a lecture. 3. No Refund Policy and Poor Customer Service: Despite clearly explaining that no actual therapy occurred and providing context, Better Speech refused to refund or credit the sessions. Their policy seems to be: as long as you showed up to the session, they consider the service fulfilled — regardless of its quality. There’s no guarantee of actual therapeutic value, only that the therapist is licensed. 4. Online Speech Therapy is Ineffective: Even the good therapists face limitations. They try to guide you on tongue and mouth movement, but the video quality is too poor to demonstrate anything clearly. You can't see their tongue, and they can't see yours. In-person therapy is far more effective — I’d say at least 200% more — and that’s what I’ll pursue moving forward. At $80 per 30-minute session, I expected a professional, streamlined, and helpful experience. Unfortunately, what I received was far from that.
Carly was a fantastic therapist and I cannot thank her enough for the progress we made. She really made it easy to open up and confidently practice strategies with.
