Does my child need private speech therapy if there's an SLP at school?
They might! School-based and private speech therapy have different eligibility requirements. Here at Into Words Therapy, we take a holistic approach to speech and language by taking special care to consider your child's skills across different settings. We want your child to achieve their potential in both casual and formal oral language, like conversations and presentations, as well as in reading and writing. Let's talk more during a complimentary consultation.
What should I expect in the evaluation?
The speech-language evaluation consists of three parts: consultation, evaluation, and review. Each of these steps is important for setting your child up for success in therapy. Please refer to our evaluation page for more detailed information.
How long is a typical therapy session?
It depends on your child. Examples include 10 minutes 3 times per week, 30-minute weekly sessions, and 45-minute sessions twice a month.
How much does speech therapy cost?
Your initial consultation is always free. Evaluation and session rates depend on session type and length — see our pricing overview on the services page for details. We accept HSA/FSA, credit card, cash, and check.
Is speech therapy covered by my insurance?
We're not in-network with insurance. Depending on your plan, you may be able to use out-of-network benefits. We'll help you figure that out and provide a superbill after each visit for reimbursement.
Can I use my FSA/HSA?
Yes! Evaluations and treatment are qualifying FSA/HSA expenses. Some other services (like school observations) may not qualify.
Why aren't you in-network with insurance?
Private pay services allow us to focus on your child instead of paperwork. Being out-of-network means transparent pricing, no surprise bills, no insurance approval delays, no visit limits, and therapy that ends when your child meets their goals. A small caseload gives us time to connect with each child, collaborate with care teams, and stay current with research.
Do you offer teletherapy?
Yes! Teletherapy is a great option for many clients, including those looking for shorter, more frequent sessions. All your child needs is a device with their teletherapy platform and a quiet space. Maggie is licensed in both North Carolina and Texas. Reach out to us about licensing if you are located in a different state.
Do you travel to schools and childcare centers?
Yes! Maggie travels to local childcare centers and private schools in the North Raleigh and Wake Forest area.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Wake Forest, NC and serve families throughout the Triangle — Wake Forest, Raleigh, Rolesville, Youngsville, and surrounding areas. Maggie travels to local schools and childcare centers for in-person sessions. Teletherapy is available statewide in NC and TX.
