FAQs: Adult Speech Therapy in Scottsdale, AZ

Does Arizona Speech and Swallow Therapy accept Medicare?

Yes! Medicare patients can receive care both in our Scottsdale clinic and via telehealth from the comfort of home. If you're unsure about your coverage, contact us at (480) 256-9666 and we'll help you verify your benefits before your first appointment.

What are my payment options for speech therapy?

We offer two main pathways:

• Medicare: Covers in-clinic and telehealth sessions for eligible patients.

• Private Pay: For patients paying out of pocket, we offer maximum flexibility with sessions that are available in-clinic, via telehealth, and in-home.

We're happy to walk you through which option fits your situation best.

Do you offer in-home speech therapy visits?

Yes, private pay patients can choose in-home speech therapy, delivered in a personalized, concierge style. Rather than navigating a clinic, your therapist comes directly to you, working in your own environment where communication and swallowing challenges are most relevant to your daily life. This is especially popular for patients with dementia, post-stroke recovery, or mobility limitations. Contact us to ask about availability in your area.

What makes your in-home visits different from standard home health?

Our in-home visits are private pay and delivered concierge style, meaning you receive dedicated, one-on-one time with a highly specialized adult speech-language pathologist, on a schedule that works for you, without the constraints of traditional home health agencies. There's no rushing, no rotating staff, and no generalist approach. Your therapist knows your case, your goals, and your home routine.

Do you offer telehealth speech therapy?

Absolutely. Telehealth sessions are available for both Medicare and private pay patients. Online speech therapy is a great option for those with transportation challenges, busy schedules, or who simply prefer the convenience of therapy from home. We treat the same conditions via telehealth with the same expert, individualized care.

What speech therapy services do you treat in adults?

We specialize exclusively in adults and treat a wide range of conditions, including:

• Aphasia: language and communication difficulties after stroke or brain injury

• Dysphagia: swallowing disorders that can cause choking or aspiration

• Voice disorders: hoarseness, vocal fatigue, or pitch concerns

• Stuttering: fluency challenges affecting confidence and communication

• Cognitive-communication disorders: memory, attention, and thinking problems

• Motor speech disorders: including dysarthria and apraxia

• Accent modification: for professional and social communication goals

Where is your clinic located, and what areas do you serve?

Our clinic is located at 11000 N Scottsdale Rd., Suite 220, Scottsdale, AZ 85254. We are located just north of Old Town Scottsdale, south of Scottsdale Quarter, and near the 101 Loop. In-home services are available to private pay patients in surrounding areas. Call us at (480) 256-9666 to confirm availability in your neighborhood.

How do I choose the right adult speech therapist in Scottsdale?

Choosing the right speech therapist starts with finding someone who specializes in adults. Many speech-language pathologists treat both children and adults, which means their time, training, and clinical focus is divided. At Arizona Speech and Swallow Therapy we treat adults exclusively, and every therapist on our team is specialized in adult communication and swallowing disorders. This means you are getting focused, expert care from day one. Beyond specialization, look for a clinic that offers a thorough evaluation, a personalized treatment plan, and consistent one-on-one time with the same therapist throughout your care.
