Vulcan Speech Group

Vulcan Speech Group Pediatric Speech-Language Pathology Services We are licensed speech-language pathologists working in a private practice in Birmingham, AL.

We evaluate and treat children (and some adults) who have difficulty communicating and/or eating. That means we can work with patients in a variety of areas including:

• Articulation-the way we use the sounds in words
• Phonology- patterns of speech-sound development
• Apraxia- motor planning difficulties when producing speech
• Fluency- stuttering
• Voice- hoarseness, breathiness, nasality issues, etc.
• Receptive language- what people understand of the language they hear
• Expressive language- using language to communicate effectively
• Pragmatic language- social communication
• Oral-motor- muscle coordination of the facial muscles required for speech
• Swallowing/feeding disorders- trouble with the muscle strength/coordination to chew and swallow or sensory aversions to foods/diet progression

Children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, and a variety of other diagnoses have a higher risk of having delays in many of these areas. So, if you have concerns that you, your child, or another family member may be struggling with speech or language development, please give us a call! We would love to do a free consultation or screening! Visit our website at www.vulcanspeech.com for more info!

Today we celebrate International Stuttering Awareness Day. A reminder that every voice deserves to be heard and every word deserves to be spoken with confidence. 💙

Stuttering is just one part of how someone communicates. It doesn’t define their intelligence, personality, or potential. Let’s listen with patience, speak with kindness, and celebrate the courage it takes to share your voice.

Choosing a new insurance plan? 🩺💬
Here are a few must-ask questions if your child receives (or may need) speech therapy:

1️⃣ Does my deductible have to be met before speech therapy is covered?
2️⃣ If so, what is my deductible?
3️⃣ Is there a limit on the number of speech therapy visits each year?
4️⃣ Can I request more visits if we use them up?
5️⃣ Will I owe a copay or coinsurance each visit?
6️⃣ Is pre-authorization required before starting services?
7️⃣ Do my benefits change if my child has an autism diagnosis?

💡Knowing these answers upfront can save you stress (and surprise bills!) later on.
