Hello! I’m Eli Lowham.

You Make All the Difference in Helping Your Child’s communication

Let me show you how.

Pricing

I understand that cost is an important consideration for families. My speech therapy services are competitively priced at $100 per hour, and I also offer sliding-scale therapy options. Currently, I only accept private pay, not insurance.

You Might Be Wondering…

Therapy sessions vary from 30-120 minutes in length. The length of therapy sessions can vary depending on whether they include an evaluation.

Therapists who offer sliding scales base the rate you pay on your income.

 

This makes it possible to get therapy with them even if they don’t accept your insurance. 

Unfortunately, I only accept private pay at this time.

 

However, I offer sliding-scale therapy. Meaning, payment rates can be based on your income. This makes it possible to get therapy with me even though I don’t accept insurance.

7 Common signs that your toddler might need speech therapy:

  • Not babbling (saying “mamama” or “dadada”) by 6-9 months

  • Not saying any words by 14 months

  • Not copying sounds or words they hear you say by 14 months

  • Not putting words together by 2 years old

  • Not following directions you’ve practiced by 18 months

  • Not answering simple questions by 2 years old

  • Difficulties playing alongside others

The quick answer is that the best age to start speech therapy for toddlers is whenever you notice your child may be falling behind. Boosting toddler’s speech and language development early on can have a significant impact because their brains are developing so rapidly. But it’s also never too late to start speech therapy for toddlers because speech therapists have strategies to support children at all ages and stages of development.

Imagine your home filled with your child’s words—sharing thoughts, needs, and love effortlessly.
