Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at Hello@smalltalkandsmiles.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Small Talk & Smiles offers a wide range of supports including speech and language assessments, speech-language screenings, individual therapy sessions, family coaching, and group classes.
Many pediatric speech therapy sessions include toys and games, but this doesn't define them as play-based sessions.
At Small Talk & Smiles, we believe having fun isn't extra- it’s essential for progress. Every activity is thoughtfully chosen, child-led, and designed to support communication in ways that feel natural, engaging, and meaningful to each child and their family. Therapy here is personal. Sessions are shaped around your child’s interests, your family’s routines, and the skills that matter most for real life.
Evidence based practices are implemented throughout our sessions with a stronger focus on family education and family implementation of the coaching plan we develop together. The family chooses what they need the most support with and all activities will focus on meeting their family goal. Coaching sessions are not reimbursable by insurance.

At this time, we are in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield. Some families with different insurance carriers choose to use their out of network (OON) benefits to utilize their own insurance plans or choose to pay privately. I will supply families with an itemized receipt (also called a super bill) that they can submit to their insurance.
Prior to starting services, it is the caregiver’s responsibility to contact their insurance plan to secure any necessary pre-authorizations. I have a “insurance cheat sheet” available to help navigate your conversation with insurance so you know what you need to start services.
