Why New Orleans families choose online speech therapy

Pediatric speech-language pathologists are in short supply across Greater New Orleans, and families often wait months for an evaluation. Stoa’s licensed Louisiana SLPs see children from Uptown to New Orleans East, across the river in Algiers, and out into Metairie and Kenner: live, online, usually starting within days.

Many of our New Orleans families use Stoa to supplement school-based services across the city’s public and charter schools, or to keep therapy consistent when a school placement changes.

What we treat

Our Louisiana-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 Southeast Louisiana, including Metairie, Kenner, Slidell, Gretna, Marrero, and Houma. Because therapy is 100% online with clinicians licensed statewide, every family in Louisiana can access the same care.

Frequently asked questions

How does online speech therapy in New Orleans work?

You or your child meet a licensed Louisiana speech-language pathologist over live video, from Uptown to New Orleans East, across the river in Algiers, or out in Metairie and Kenner. Sessions are live and interactive, and parents are coached as active partners. Most families have a free consultation within a couple of days and start within days.

How much does speech therapy cost in New Orleans?

Most families we serve pay between $0 and $30 per visit after insurance. We accept Louisiana Medicaid (Healthy Louisiana) 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 New Orleans-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, which is 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.
