FAQ's

The frequency and length of the treatment sessions will depend on the specific needs of the client and the family. There will always be time at the end of the session to go over home practice, discuss next steps, and answer any questions.

Sessions will ideally take place in our clinic located in Central Edmonton. Virtual appointments can also be discussed. If preferred, and on a case-by-case basis, sessions can also take place at the client’s preschool daycare, or in the client’s home (extra charges will occur). 

• There is a 24 hour notice required for cancellation. If the client does not show or less than 24 hours notice is given, the full session fee will be charged. If 3 consecutive sessions are missed or canceled, the SLP reserves the right to discharge the child from their caseload.
• If the client arrives late, the session duration will be adjusted accordingly and end at the original time in order for the next client to be seen on time. The full fee will be charged.

We provide direct billing to most insurance providers. Most insurance providers and employer benefits plans have coverage for speech pathology services but please speak with your insurance provider directly.

E-transfers and credit card payments will be accepted.

• Private speech therapy is tax deductible as a medical expense; however, a medical referral is required. Keep your treatment invoices and receipts as evidence of your payment. It is best to consult your tax advisor for more information.
• Your child or family member may qualify for the Disability tax credit if they have a persistent communication or speech sound disorder that impacts their functioning in daily life. To apply for this credit, you need to obtain a T2201 form from a taxation office and discuss your child’s or family member’s needs with your child’s pediatrician or family member’s doctor.
