Yes, we accept New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) funding for speech therapy services. To set up services, parents or clients can speak with their support coordinator to include speech therapy in their Individualized Service Plan (ISP). The support coordinator will help with the necessary paperwork and ensure funding is allocated for speech therapy. Once approved, we can work with you to schedule sessions and begin providing services tailored to your needs. Feel free to contact us for any assistance during the process!

Yes, we accept New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) funding for speech therapy services. DDD funding becomes available for individuals with developmental disabilities starting at age 21, providing state-based support for various services, including speech therapy. This funding differs from insurance or private pay, as it’s managed through an Individualized Service Plan (ISP) created with your support coordinator. The support coordinator allocates funds for approved services, which are covered directly by DDD without co-pays or deductibles. To set up speech therapy through DDD, speak with your support coordinator, and we’ll help you begin the process.

No, we do not accept insurance for  services. Eastern Speech Therapy is considered an “Out of Network” provider. All services are paid out of pocket by the client or their caregiver. However, I do provide superbills that contain all the necessary information for clients to seek reimbursement from their insurance company, if applicable. This allows clients to file claims with their insurance provider and potentially receive reimbursement for the services received.

To determine if your insurance reimburses for “out of network” speech therapy, it’s best to contact your insurance provider directly. You can inquire about their policy regarding out-of-network coverage for speech therapy services and ask about any specific requirements or documentation needed for reimbursement. Additionally, you can review your insurance plan’s benefits or contact their customer service department for assistance in understanding your coverage options.

Sessions are either 30, 45, or 60 minutes. During the session, we utilize a variety of materials, including ones provided by the client from home, as well as materials selected by me that are tailored to target specific treatment goals. Each session is structured to address the individual needs and goals of the client, with a focus on engaging and effective therapy techniques.

With Eastern Speech Therapy, you have the option of in-home or virtual sessions on the computer. We are currently serving children in Middlesex Mercer, and Somerset Counties, and parts of Hunterdon County, and adults in Middlesex, Somerset, Hunterdon, Mercer, and Monmouth Counties.
