Pediatric speech therapy
Pediatric Speech Therapy in North Miami Beach
Communication is central to how children learn, play, and connect with others. Our speech therapy services are provided at our North Miami Beach clinic by our partner speech-language pathologists (SLPs), licensed professionals who evaluate and treat speech, language, and related concerns in children ages 0–21.
Sessions take place at our clinic, 909 N Miami Beach Blvd, Suite 503. Teletherapy and services at select partner schools are also available.
Our approach is guided by resources from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

Quick check
When to consider a speech-language evaluation
The CDC’s milestone checklists list communication skills that most children (75% or more) show by a certain age. For example, most children say at least two words together by age 2, and talk well enough for others to understand them most of the time by age 36. If your child has not reached milestones, has lost skills, or you have concerns, the CDC recommends talking with your child’s doctor6. ASHA also provides an overview of typical speech and language development3.

Getting started
How to get started
Getting started is simple: reach out, we’ll help with insurance or private-pay details, and an evaluation guides the plan. See how it works →
Insurance and private pay
We accept Humana Tricare, Molina Healthcare CMS, and Aetna Commercial. For Blue Cross Blue Shield (out of network), we’ll call to verify whether your child’s plan includes out-of-network benefits. We also accept Step Up and Act4Me. Speech therapy coverage depends on your plan, so we verify it for you. Private pay is available, including treatment packages, individual services, and payment plans.
