You chose to shape your child's education around who they are. We'll help you fill the communication, literacy, and learning gaps, with therapy that's as individualized as your homeschool. ESA funds accepted for eligible students.
Speech Me Therapy accepts Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) funds for eligible students, and we handle ESA billing through our practice management system so you can focus on your child instead of paperwork.
Who is eligible? Under Arizona law and the ESA Parent Handbook, ESA funds can be used for educational therapies, such as speech-language therapy, only for students identified with a disability, for example through an IEP, a 504 plan, or another qualifying evaluation on file with the ESA program. Students in the universal ESA program without a disability designation generally can't use ESA funds for therapy. Rules can change each school year, so please confirm with the Arizona Department of Education.
Not sure where your student stands? Our parent's guide to ESA and speech therapy walks through the rules, with links to the official sources. And if ESA isn't an option, we also accept HSA and FSA funds and provide superbills for potential PPO reimbursement.
We don't just see your child for an hour a week. We show you how to build these skills into your everyday lessons, so progress happens faster and sticks.
Articulation, phonology, fluency, and receptive and expressive language: the foundation for every subject.
Phonological awareness, language-based literacy, and comprehension, treated at the root rather than with workarounds.
Pragmatic language, perspective-taking, inferencing, and flexible thinking, for co-ops, activities, and friendships.
Practical strategies you can weave into your homeschool day, so therapy carries over into real life.

It depends on your student. Under Arizona law and the ESA Parent Handbook, ESA funds can pay for educational therapies, such as speech-language therapy from a licensed provider, only for students identified with a disability (for example, through an IEP, a 504 plan, or another qualifying evaluation on file with the ESA program). Students in the universal ESA program without a disability designation generally cannot use ESA funds for therapy. Please confirm with the Arizona Department of Education before you start.

We start with a free 15-minute consultation and, if it makes sense, a full evaluation.
