How does Speech Buddies Connect work?<\/h2>\n

For Parents<\/h3>\n

We start by helping you find the right speech therapist for your child. All listed therapists are certified Speech Language Therapists and screened to ensure you and your child will be matched with high-quality, credentialed providers\u00a0in your area. Simply enter\u00a0your zip code and optionally\u00a0the age of your child, and we’ll supply a\u00a0comprehensive list of SLPs in your area. You can also sort through the list to find therapists who specialize in any particular language or speech disorder. Additionally, each therapist’s information page is broken down into particular focus, where they perform services (in or out of the office) and insurance policies. When you find a therapist that looks like a great fit, it’s easy to message them. \"Speech<\/a><\/p>\n
