Learn about apraxiaHow sessions work
Your child is calm and curious in their own space. Your Speech Bee uses the toys, books, and routines they already love.
Stuttering therapy is the one service we offer online, for families anywhere in Texas.
Articulation, language, and apraxia therapy stay in-home. We believe they work best hands-on, and we won't trade quality for convenience.
How it works
No 30-page forms and no mystery. Here’s what getting started with a Dallas Speech Bee looks like.
Tell us what you’re hearing at home and ask anything. It’s free, short, and there’s no commitment.
We pair you with a Speech Bee whose area, schedule, and experience fit your child, not just whoever is closest.
Your Speech Bee plays with your child, gathers a clear starting point, and talks through goals with you in plain English.
Weekly sessions start in your living room. You get a free parents guide at the first session so practice keeps going between visits.
Your Speech Bee checks progress against the goals you set together and adjusts the plan when something isn’t working.
For Dallas families
DFW is one of the most spread-out metros in the country. A clinic visit across town can mean more time in the car than in therapy.
That math doesn’t work for a four-year-old who’s done the moment the car seat clicks. So the drive is ours, not yours.
We match Speech Bees by the areas they can realistically cover. Drop in your ZIP and we’ll find someone who can actually get to your door.
Many Dallas families speak Spanish, Vietnamese, or another language at home. A child tested only in English can look “behind” when they’re actually learning two languages well.
We work to match bilingual families with a Speech Bee who fits. If that isn’t possible in your area, we’ll tell you up front. Your child should never have to give up their home language to speak clearly.
If your child qualifies for services in Dallas ISD, Highland Park ISD, or Richardson ISD, take them. School SLPs work hard, and it’s free.
School sessions are usually small groups with goals tied to the classroom.
A Speech Bee is one-on-one in your home, with goals you help pick, like ordering at a restaurant or playing with a sibling. Many families do both.
Dallas kids stay busy with soccer, volleyball, church, and long, hot summers spent mostly indoors.
Your Speech Bee works around real life. If you’re aiming for a goal before school starts in August, we plan backward from that date.
Our founder was raised in Texas and went to UT Dallas, right here in the metro.
Before Speech Bees, that meant more than 100 hours volunteering with students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. That’s where the mission began: give families the tools they need to communicate better.
Drop your ZIP and we'll match you with a hand-picked, in-home Speech Bee nearby.
Honest comparison
DFW has plenty of good choices for kids’ speech therapy. Here’s an honest look at where Speech Bees fits.
Free, during the school day, and run by qualified SLPs. Sessions are usually small groups with goals tied to classroom learning. It pairs well with private therapy.
DFW has solid pediatric clinics. The trade-offs are drive time, waiting rooms, and a room full of toys your child has never seen. Some kids thrive there, many don’t.
Often quick to start, with licensed SLPs. Matching is usually automated and every session is on a screen. We offer online therapy only for stuttering, because we believe the rest works best hands-on.
A hand-picked, licensed SLP in your living room, using your child’s own toys and routines. Parents are welcome to join, and every family starts with a free 15-minute consultation.
The financial side
Speech therapy is a real investment. Here’s how paying for it works before you commit to anything.
We don’t bill insurance directly yet. You’ll get a superbill to submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage varies, so check your plan’s speech therapy benefits.
No contracts and no subscriptions. Pricing is shared on your free 15-minute consultation, so you know the cost up front.
Speech therapy from a licensed SLP is often an eligible expense for HSA and FSA accounts. Your plan administrator can confirm.
We can talk through a schedule that fits your budget, like less frequent visits paired with more parent practice at home.
Free 15-minute consultation
Tell us a little about your child. A real person from our Dallas team writes back, usually within one business day.
Where we go
Dallas is spread out, and great speech therapy shouldn’t cost you an hour of traffic. Your Speech Bee meets your child where their toys, books, and routines already live.

Frequently asked
Book a free 15-minute consultation. Tell us what you’re noticing, ask anything you like, and we’ll explain how in-home therapy would work for your child. There’s no cost and no commitment.
Yes. Many of our DFW Speech Bees also cover nearby cities like Highland Park, University Park, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Garland, Richardson, and Allen. Coverage depends on each SLP’s area, so pop in your ZIP to see who can come to you.
Only for stuttering. Stuttering therapy is the one service we offer online. Articulation, language, and apraxia therapy are in-home only, because we believe speech therapy works best hands-on, and we won’t trade that quality for convenience.
Every Speech Bee is a licensed, ASHA-certified, master’s-trained, state-licensed speech-language pathologist with pediatric experience. We hand-pick each one, and that includes seeing how they are with kids.
Yes, and we encourage it. We offer parent-assisted sessions where your Speech Bee shows you the same practices SLPs use, so you can keep them going between visits. Every family also gets a free parents guide at the first session.
Once you’re matched with a local Speech Bee, the next step is scheduling an evaluation at home. Timing depends on your SLP’s openings, and we’ll give you a straight answer on the consultation call.
Many kids qualify for school-based services in Dallas ISD, Highland Park ISD, or Richardson ISD, and if yours does, take it. School sessions are usually small groups with classroom-focused goals. A Speech Bee adds one-on-one time at home with goals your family helps choose.
Often, yes, especially if progress at school feels slow or your child needs goals an IEP can’t cover, like home routines or sibling play. School and private therapy complement each other well. If school alone is enough, we’ll tell you.
It depends on the goal and the child. Some sounds come quickly, while apraxia and complex language goals take longer, with steady gains along the way. Your Speech Bee tracks progress against the goals you set together and shares it with you in plain English.
Yes, and matching matters here. We look for a Speech Bee whose experience fits your child’s needs. If we don’t have the right fit in your area, we’ll say so honestly rather than send the wrong person.
No. You can reach out directly. If your pediatrician has referred you, mention it on the consultation call, since that context helps your Speech Bee walk in already understanding what’s been observed.
We don’t bill insurance directly yet. We provide a superbill you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan, so check with your insurer about speech therapy benefits.
Speech therapy is delivered by a licensed speech-language pathologist and focuses on communication: speech sounds, language, and fluency. ABA is a separate behavior therapy delivered by behavior analysts. They can work alongside each other, but Speech Bees provides speech therapy only.
Sometimes. It depends on ages, goals, and how well two kids share one SLP’s attention. Siblings working on different goals usually need separate sessions. We’ll figure out what makes sense after getting to know each child.
