Why Richmond families choose online speech therapy

Richmond families know the drill: a pediatrician flags a speech concern, and the first available evaluation at a clinic in the West End or at a hospital outpatient program is months out. Stoa skips the waitlist: a licensed Virginia SLP sees your child over live video, whether you’re in the Fan, Church Hill, Midlothian, Short Pump, or anywhere across Henrico and Chesterfield counties.

Many of our Richmond-area families use Stoa to supplement services from Richmond Public Schools or county school divisions, or to get individual help when a child doesn’t qualify for an IEP.

What we treat

Our Virginia-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 the Richmond metro, including Henrico, Chesterfield, Mechanicsville, Glen Allen, and Petersburg. Because therapy is 100% online with clinicians licensed statewide, every family in Virginia can access the same care.

Frequently asked questions

How does online speech therapy for kids in Richmond, VA work?

Your child meets a licensed Virginia speech-language pathologist over live video, from home in Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, or anywhere in the state. Sessions are play-based, and parents join in to learn strategies for the week. It starts with a free consultation, then an evaluation and a written plan with clear goals.

How much does speech therapy cost in Richmond?

Most families we serve pay between $0 and $30 per visit after insurance. We accept Virginia Medicaid (Cardinal Care) and most major commercial plans, and we verify your benefits for free before your first appointment. We’re also in-network with Anthem in Virginia.

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 Richmond-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.
