Why Rockford families choose online speech therapy

Northern Illinois outside Chicagoland runs thin on pediatric speech-language pathologists, and Rockford families often wait months or drive to the suburbs for an evaluation. Telehealth changes the math: a licensed Illinois SLP sees your child at home — in Rockford, Loves Park, Machesney Park, or anywhere in the Stateline area — usually within days of your first call.

Many of our Rockford families use Stoa to supplement Rockford Public Schools (District 205) services, or to get individual therapy local capacity can’t offer.

What we treat

Our Illinois-licensed SLPs work with the full range of communication needs: speech and language delays, late talkers, articulation disorders (including R sounds and lisps), language disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, speech therapy for autistic children, stuttering, voice disorders, and aphasia in adults.

Areas we serve

We also serve families across northern Illinois, including Loves Park, Machesney Park, Belvidere, Freeport, and DeKalb. Because therapy is 100% online with clinicians licensed statewide, every family in Illinois can access the same care.

Frequently asked questions

How much does speech therapy cost in Rockford?

Most families we serve pay between $0 and $30 per visit after insurance. We accept Illinois Medicaid (HealthChoice Illinois) and most major commercial plans, and we verify your benefits for free before your first appointment.

How fast can my child be seen?

Most families complete a free consultation within a couple of days and schedule an evaluation shortly after — compared with waits of weeks or months at many Rockford-area clinics. No physician referral is required.

Does online speech therapy work as well as in-person?

Yes. Research consistently shows telehealth speech therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person care for articulation, language, fluency, and voice. Sessions are live and interactive, and parents are coached as active partners — one of the strongest predictors of progress.

What do we need for sessions?

A computer or tablet with a camera and a reasonably stable internet connection. Your SLP handles the rest — games, materials, and activities are all built into the session.
