Stoa Therapy’s licensed Colorado speech-language pathologists see children and adults across the Front Range and beyond, entirely online. Whether you’re in metro Denver or a mountain town where the nearest SLP is a pass away, care starts from your living room.

Most families pay $0–$30 per visit. We accept Health First Colorado (Medicaid) and most major commercial plans, we handle insurance verification for you, and there’s no physician referral required to get started. Book a free consultation or call (517) 997-8198.

Speech therapy built around Colorado families

Colorado’s geography makes teletherapy a natural fit. Families in the high country and on the Eastern Plains face some of the longest drives to pediatric specialists in the country, and even Front Range families deal with weeks-long waitlists. Our Colorado-licensed SLPs typically offer first appointments within days, with after-school and evening slots that don’t require leaving work early.

What our Colorado speech therapists treat

Our Colorado-licensed SLPs evaluate and treat the full range of speech, language, and communication needs, including:

• Speech and language delays and late talkers
• Articulation and speech sound disorders (including the R sound and lisps)
• Receptive and expressive language disorders
• Childhood apraxia of speech
• Speech therapy for autistic children, including social communication and AAC
• Stuttering and fluency disorders
• Voice disorders
• Aphasia and adult communication after stroke or injury

Insurance and Medicaid in Colorado

Health First Colorado (the state’s Medicaid program) covers medically necessary speech therapy for members under 21 through its EPSDT benefit, and coverage is available for adults as well. Stoa Therapy accepts Colorado Medicaid plans. See our insurance and Medicaid guide for details, or send us your insurance information and we’ll verify your benefits for free before your first visit.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can we start?

Most families complete a free consultation within a couple of days and schedule an evaluation shortly after. There’s no physician referral required to get started, though we’re glad to coordinate with your pediatrician.

How much will speech therapy cost?

Most families we serve pay between $0 and $30 per visit after insurance, including Medicaid. We verify your benefits before your first appointment and tell you your expected cost up front: no surprises.

Does Health First Colorado cover online speech therapy?

Health First Colorado covers medically necessary speech-language therapy, and Colorado has been one of the more telehealth-friendly Medicaid programs. We verify your specific coverage before your first session, so you’ll know your expected cost before you commit to anything.

Does online speech therapy really work?

Yes. Peer-reviewed research consistently finds telehealth speech therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person care across articulation, language, fluency, and voice. Sessions are live, interactive, and built around games and activities kids actually enjoy, and parents are coached as partners, which improves carryover at home.

What ages do you see?

All ages, from toddlers just starting to talk through school-age children, teens, and adults.
