Helpful Information

Every child develops at their own pace and has their own strengths and challenges. As a parent, you know your child best, and we're here to help guide you. Some signs that your child may benefit from speech therapy include difficulty being understood, trouble forming sentences, struggling to follow directions, a limited vocabulary, or frustration when communicating.

We are focused on early speech and language development and typically work with children 18 months to 8 years old. These early years are key for building strong communication skills.

If you have concerns about your child's speech or language development, contact us to set up a free 15-minute consultation. Together, we can determine the best course of action.

Yes. A formal speech and language evaluation is a critical first step in understanding your child's communication strengths and challenges. Evaluations help identify your child's needs and set personalized goals for their speech and language growth. If your child has received a formal speech and language evaluation with a written report within the past six months, a new full evaluation may not be needed. However, if you plan to use insurance or submit for out-of-network insurance reimbursement, your provider may require a more recent evaluation from our private practice.

Absolutely! The qualification requirements for Early Intervention and school-based services are different from private practice speech therapy. Those programs have strict eligibility criteria, meaning a child may not qualify even if they still have areas of communication difficulties. At Doyle Speech and Beyond, we recognize that parents know their child best, and your concerns are valid. If you feel your child would benefit from additional support, we are here to help. In private therapy, we focus on your child’s unique communication challenges and provide individualized strategies to help them thrive.

Yes! We offer a variety of summer-only programs to support your child while school is out. These include one-on-one therapy and small group language enrichment classes. Reach out for more information. We’d love to help!

Session length and frequency depend on your child's needs, insurance restrictions, and what works best for your family. Most children do well with 30 minute sessions once or twice per week. We'll find the best fit together!

We ask that caregivers stay in the building for the duration of their child's session. You're always welcome and encouraged to join us in the therapy room to learn strategies you can use at home. However, some children learn and engage best when a caregiver is nearby but not in the room, so waiting in the lobby may be the better option. Every child is different, and we'll work together to find what works best for your family.

We understand that life happens, and sometimes you may need to cancel or reschedule a session. If you need to make a change, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged 50% of the session rate. Missed sessions are an out-of-pocket expense, and cannot be reimbursed by insurance.

Our office is located at 14 Main Street Suite 102, Madison, New Jersey 07940. You can enter through either the front or rear of the building. We have a private parking lot located at the back of the building with plenty of free parking available for our families. The back parking lot is off of Cook Ave. We want to ensure that all families can access our office comfortably. If stairs present a challenge, please reach out to us, and we will be happy to discuss alternative solutions to accommodate your needs.

In-home and in-daycare sessions may be available on a case-by-case basis. A convenience fee is added to each session to account for travel time and scheduling limitations. This fee is an out-of-pocket expense and cannot be reimbursed by your insurance company. These services are limited and depend on location and availability.

Every child progresses at their own pace. The length of therapy depends on the nature of the communication challenge, consistency in attendance, and practice outside of sessions.
