Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy's primary focus is to address speaking and non-speaking skills to allow for fluent communication between others. Speech Therapists also address chewing, swallowing, pronunciation, articulation and more!
Our Therapeutic Process
Evaluation
Once MayBee Therapy receives a referral, we can schedule an appointment for an evaluation.
Plan
Once the evaluation is complete, we will send a request to insurance for approval. From there, we will work with you and your child to develop a treatment plan based on realistic goals.
Treatment
We offer services in our clinic located in Huntersville NC, daycares, and preschools.
Progress
Watch your child grow and improve based on the goals tailored to their needs. Throughout their time with MayBee Therapy, we will perform re-evaluations, progress notes, and eventually, discharge plans.
