Afterschool sessions can be scheduled in person in Avondale Estates or conducted via teletherapy. These options are designed to accommodate different schedules and preferences, supporting consistent and effective therapy.
INSURANCE
Meredith is a private pay provider and does not bill insurance directly. However, a superbill can be provided upon request, which you may submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, depending on your out-of-network benefits.
It is recommended that you contact your insurance provider in advance to confirm coverage and reimbursement policies for speech therapy or other applicable services.
Payment is due at the time of service.
HOW TO BEGIN
For Speech, Apraxia, and Myofunctional Therapy, treatment begins with an evaluation. No evaluation is required for Craniosacral Therapy. Consultations are also offered at the hourly rate; these are informal and provide verbal guidance summarized in bullet-point notes rather than a written report.
HOW MANY SESSIONS?
Meredith does not take a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Each person is unique, and so is their treatment plan. The number of sessions needed depends on the individual’s specific challenges, level of involvement, and consistency with at-home practice.
For speech, myofunctional, and oral motor therapies, progress can vary greatly. Some individuals may see changes quickly, while others benefit from a longer-term approach to fully address the underlying issues.
For craniosacral therapy, a minimum of three sessions is recommended to allow the body time to respond and begin the healing process.
Meredith will always be transparent about progress and adjust your plan as needed—partnering with you to support lasting, meaningful change.
SESSION LENGTH
Ongoing Speech, Apraxia, and Myofunctional therapy sessions are typically 1-2x per week for 30 minutes, with Craniosacral Therapy being an hour. Arrangements can be made for longer sessions.
