Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need To Know
My two year old isn’t talking yet. What do I do?
You can also practice with your child at home by responding positively to all of their communication attempts; repeating what they do/say or giving verbal praise 'I like how you tried to tell me!'.
Does Teletherapy work?
Being present inside your child's home environment offers me valuable insight, and more directly connects parent involvement!
How many days a week does my child need therapy?
After a thorough assessment, I will develop your child’s treatment plan and determine frequency.
Do you accept insurance?
Upon request, I can provide you a 'Superbill' that is formatted for insurance companies to provide coverage retroactively.
What technology or equipment will I need?
- Computer or laptop preferred (Ipad or mobile device can be an alternative option)
- You don’t need any extra special equipment
Do I have to be referred by a doctor?
However, some health insurers require a referral from your child’s primary physician before they will provide coverage.
How do I get started?
You have two ways to begin: a free 20-minute Meet & Greet video chat to get to know each other and see if teletherapy is right for your family, or an Initial Evaluation if you already know you'd like an assessment. Use the online scheduling system for either, or email heather@bravospeechtherapy.com with any questions.
Where are your services offered?
I am currently licensed to provide services to families residing in Washington State, Vermont, Virginia, and Massachusetts.
How much does Bravo Online Speech Therapy cost?
- 20-minute Meet & Greet: no cost
- 90-minute Initial Evaluation + written report: $150
- 45-minute Treatment Session + home programming: $90
Does my child need an evaluation first?
If your child has been evaluated by another certified speech-language pathologist within the last year, I can review it to determine whether there is enough information to establish a plan and begin treatment without conducting another evaluation.
How old are the kids you see?
I offer speech and language services to children between the ages of 18 months and 18 years.
What is a Superbill?
A Superbill is a document you can submit to your insurance plan to seek reimbursement. It differs from a typical invoice because it includes extra detail: your contact information, the therapist's name and credentials, the CPT code for the service, the ICD-10 diagnosis code, the fee paid, and more.
