Best speech therapists in Indianapolis: find options near you

So up at therapy is going great and I’m able to gain a lot from it, and so I just want to say thank you for everything! I’m still coming but I just want to say that I do appreciate everyone from the front desk to all if the therapist who are helping me to get stronger and better. Keep up the great work. you make people feel special. I like all of the therapist but they are a couple of therapist I want to give a special thank you to, the first one is Morgan for helping me with everything with Telling me how I can overcome my depression and stress the next one is Linda / Charmie / Natasha / Angie and Claire for helping me out with my workout and my speech. loyalty, trust and honesty are words I try to live by. and I know that I can trust you all and I hope that you can trust me too. I’m so thankful that I can call you all my friends!! Because I don’t have any

Thru Physiotherapy, I have gained lot more confidence in balancing and getting up from sofa. The PT expert Charmee is not only good in her job, she is also good natured person. Further she is very efficient. I have seen her attending to 4 patients at a time very affectively.

The therapist are so good and have a wealth of knowledge. If in need of therapy service check them out u won't be disappointed.

Ayesha was s amazing! Her special PT talent is hands on the best, she hits the right muscles in my shoulder.

Fantastic service. No waiting. Technician professionally, and without any undue stress or hardship on the patient, removed and replaced the TEP. Nice job.

They billed incorrectly, didn’t check my insurance, forced me to overpay by threats to send my account collections, I’m still owed THOUSANDS. If I could give 0 stars I would!

Julie did an incredible job helping me with my hands and wrists. I’ve been experiencing pain for years and she gave me some great tools to improve. Julie was very thorough, kind, and made every appointment fun! I starting looking forward to occupational therapy because she was my therapist. Morgan was very helpful and extremely nice as well. I would HIGHLY recommend going to PT Solutions for your occupational therapy needs. You will not be disappointed.

We have been coming to SpeakIndy for close to a year now. They have recently moved locations, but the service still has its roots DEEPLY committed to serving the needs of its students. We are treated as family and celebrate occasions with fun and festivities here with the staff as well. There is NOTHING more sacred than protecting our children and the passion and love that the staff at SpeakIndy has for its students shows each and every visit.

My son has been going to SpeakIndy for about a year and a half now. He's been worked primarily with Anna, and more recently Jaclyn, and they are both amazing! SpeakIndy was recommended to me by a nurse practitioner I used to work for, and I am so grateful that I followed her advise. My son has made so much progress, with both is speech, and social development since he's been coming here. He's more outgoing, and so many others are able to see his real personality! Before he was very shy, and socializing made him so anxious. He's a totally different kid than he was when we started. The rest of the staff is wonderful as well! They put so much care into working with their kids, and we will continue with them, as long as we need. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking speech therapy, or any other developmental resource!

My son has been going to SpeakIndy for a year now and the therapists he sees are such wonderful loving people. He's grown leaps and bounds in speech and with his fine motor skills. I would recommend SpeakIndy to any family that is in need of help for their little ones. Hoping to do preschool and kindergarten with them.

SpeakIndy has helped my son tremendously. My son really enjoys his sessions at the facility. The staff has also made it a smooth transition starting the therapy sessions and show a high level of concern and care for each child that is seen here. I highly recommend this facility for any therapy needs.

Shelby did a terrific job working with my son and customized each session to fit his specific needs. Her kind and gentle disposition put my child very much at ease. She was always willing to work with our schedule and her flexibility was evident. I would highly recommend Shelby and SpeakIndy for your child’s speech needs.

I am posting because there is nothing more important than helping our children find their voice. Although my son has IEP speech therapy though his school, his incredible rate of progress and confidence is a direct result of therapists at SpeakIndy who incorporate language, speech, and behavior therapy in every session. Don't let the ball drop when school gets out, SpeakIndy has a unique, year round program for every child. Courtney Holland, MA-CCC-SLP has also taught me how to support my son's goals in really fun, creative ways. I really can't say enough great things about all of the professionals at SpeakIndy!!

Jaclyn has helped our son to improve his emotional intelligence as well as his ability to interact his peers in a typical setting. Our son has made noticeable social improvements since he began therapy at SpeakIndy. Jaclyn is creative and professional and it's obvious that she takes her role very seriously and that she enjoys her job.

10/10 recommend. I went through them and first steps got my child’s speech therapy. We were in it for about 10-11 months and the results were amazing. Our speech therapist, Miss Katie ( as my son calls her) was so amazing to work with. She was cheerful, very informative and resourceful when I had questions on how to help my child on the days she wasn’t there. My son was labeled a mute when he started speech and he he is now a chatterbox! Thank you ♥️

I’m so disappointed in this place, I took my kid here for two years, and when my insurance and a hiccup and we had a lapse (as did many parents with Medicaid) and when my insurance said it was under review, the staff was immediately unwelcoming, rude, and treated me different. Then I kept telling them to run the insurance after I got the insurance back, they didn’t and then send the bill to debt collectors instead of using my insurance. I will not use their service again.

My son has been receiving therapy from CTC since he was 2 years old and in first step. He has seen a total of 6 therapists for different services he’s needed and every single one has been amazing. In the 4 years we’ve been going here we truly feel like family. Everyone is so kind and the environment is so positive. The therapists and staff are always providing thoughtful insights and creative solutions for whatever goal we are trying to reach. They are always asking questions about my son to really get to know him and incorporate his special interests into his therapy. My son is 6 years old, autistic and absolutely thriving and I know it is, in large part, because of the CTC family! We can’t recommend them enough!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the lovely receptionist. We were referred by my son’s occupational therapist who is also with Children’s Therapy Connection. (Jessica). First off, Jessica has been a light to my son and has been tremendously helpful and impactful with son’s everyday needs (eating, drinking from a cup etc.) she truly cares about our boy. She has always been hands on and keeps me updated every week when she visits his school. She has been a blessing. We came in today for our speech therapy evaluation with Kelly. It’s such a clean, peaceful and ACCEPTING environment for little ones and the parents. The staff there seems to love and WANT to be there! Easy check-in system. We only had to wait because we arrived 30 minutes prior to fill out paperwork which actually was not needed since you do it prior to coming in. Everything was on time. Our appointment was at 11:00 we got called back at 11:00 and left right at 12:00. Kelly was amazing as well, she was able to gain so much insight about our son and asked us all the right questions and allowed us to have questions as well. She was so hands on with our son. She truly cares as well, we’re so excited to be starting speech therapy with Kelly!

Such kind people with your child's best interest at heart. My son was comfortable right away and the ladies in the office take the guessing out of your coverage and charges!

We needed speech therapy for my son. We were connected with Children's Therapy Connection through First Steps. Our therapist was EXCELLENT! We were a little skeptical at first since a lot of the meetings were over zoom but she kept our soon engaged and really worked with him. Within a months he was signing and starting to talk (initially he did not talk at all) and then a few more months he was up to at least 3 word phrases. We would recommend Children's Therapy Connection to anyone with a child that either has not started talking or needs a little help.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. When we first started my daughter was non verbal. Ate maybe four foods. Was drastically under weight and had no self control sensory wise. Lindsay her SLP and Angie her OT put SO much effort into her. We were with them for two years before moving out of state and I still miss being able to take her there. My daughter now can not stop talking 😂 Most people can not even tell that she has a language disorder unless I tell them. And she is constantly telling me that she wants to try new foods! Every single person in the office is amazing and they truly care about your child. And will go above and beyond to help their quality of life. 100000% recommend. If you are looking for a private therapy center for your child, there’s no place better.

My son sees Lauren, Bri and Morgan and they are amazing therapists! b& it’s not just them, all of the other therapists really are too, they get to know each kiddo and help them to have some major improvements! It’s always a very clean, positive and fun environment! Kiddos definitely enjoy coming and you can tell by all the smiles and laughter!! Keep up the good work guys!

My daughter was 10 weeks early and was recommended to go here by her pediatrician. The staff makes you feel like family! Love the interactions and when her speech therapist noticed her having issues with moving and such, we got set up with a physical therapist as well without any hassle. They take care of all the paperwork for insurance and I felt so at ease after so many issues with bills at the hospital both she and I stayed at. So thankful for the loving staff. Bless you all

My son attended PediPlay for speech,occupational, and physical therapy services almost a year ago! Everyone at this office embraced my son and myself and treated us like family! The staff always went above and beyond for us, answering all the questions I asked, rearranging appointments when needed, and keeping my sons best interest at heart! My son went from a nonverbal child to verbal! I can never repay these therapists for all they did for myself and my child! Highly recommend!!

I wish I could give PediPlay 10 stars. We started going here after my son had a major seizure/virus/brain injury when he was 14 months old. He is 4 and we have seen them basically every week since April of 2019. His therapists believe in him and are nothing but positive and patient with him and with us. They helped him regain the ability to walk after the doctors led us to believe he never would again. They listen to my concerns, communicate clearly what they are working on, and truly have his best interest at heart. They cheer him on and he looks forward to his therapy days! The therapists at Pediplay have become like family to us. We are so thankful for them, and all the many ways they have encouraged and helped our son through the years.

They work really well with my granddaughter

Our son was walking exclusively on tip toes and had very tight muscles as a result. We have had a wonderful time experience with the staff. Their patience and their diligence in explaining everything has made it an enjoyable experience for our son! So glad we took the leap and started our son in therapy there!

If I could give zero stars I would. I took my son here about a year ago for not only a consultation but an overall therapy plan for speech and o.t, they sold me a dream to say the least. They told me within minutes my son would be non verbal, they never did a physical examination of his mouth, tongue etc. They just assumed since he's autistic, he'd be non verbal. These therapists are mean, rude, hateful, to child and the parents. They promised that we could be in his sessions, after the second session we were told we had to wait outside, after that Every time my son came out of that horrid place he was panicking, shaking and hysterically crying!!! They were so abusive mentally and emotionally. After a month and a half I couldn't bare to see him in agony, so I found him a new facility, be therapists and guess what HE IS NOT NON VERBAL HE WAS TONGUE TIED!! You guys should have caught it when he was in your care, not assume he'll never talk! GUESS WHAT???HE NOW TALKS AND SAYS SO MUCH! He's happy with his new facility family, they love him, as he loves them. Extremely grateful to have gotten away from this awful place.

Amazing! They’re so good with our toddler. He loves going and they make the entire experience a fun one for him. The space is clean and welcoming, and we’re very happy with the care our child is receiving.

Had a great experience during the evaluation and can’t wait to see the progress my little one does during speech therapy! Highly recommend! Friendly environment and great staff!

Can't say enough great things about this place! Everyone is friendly, the clinic is spacious & clean, and the therapists are great. Highly recommend 🙂

Love love love the staff they are so awesome and Ms.Amy is super sweet communicates great

Love Miss Amy!!

Amy has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She is incredibly patient and takes the time to make each session comfortable and enjoyable for him. What really stands out is how engaging she is—she uses creative activities and a warm, encouraging approach that keeps my son interested and motivated. Because of this, he looks forward to his sessions and has made noticeable progress. I truly appreciate the care, dedication, and positive energy she brings to helping him grow.

Deanna is amazing!! She is very patient and creative in getting things to move forward. Our daughter has made lots of progress and is very happy here.

We could not be more excited about the progress our son has made since seeing Dana Stewart at Stuttering and Speech Therapy! He had been receiving services somewhere else for years with little progression and after he began seeing Dana we saw tremendous improvement. The school was so impressed at his advancement over the summer by seeing Dana. We love that Dana is truly invested in our son's goals and gears therapy sessions to the needs of our son while keeping him engaged. She is an incredible partner to us as parents and is always willing to collaborate with our other service providers to ensure our son reaches is full potential. She is amazing! We feel so lucky to have found her!

I contacted Dana in regards to my increasing concerns regarding my son’s speech. She was able to quickly return my call, discuss over the phone my questions/concerns and schedule an evaluation/assessment within a week from our phone call. Dana is very knowledgeable and made me and my son feel at ease during the evaluation process. She went over in detail the results and recommendations. He is becoming more secure and confident each session. He also enjoyed the outing scheduled for peers his age at a doughnut game cafe. I am very thankful to have found Dana with Stuttering and Speech Therapy Services.

Our experience was fantastic! Dana was my child's SLP. She is thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely cares for her patients. She was a collaborative partner, ensuring all treatment planning included her expert advice, my thoughts and observations, and my child's goals and perspectives. Though my son is now discharged, she will remain an important resource to us!

I work as a Speech-Language Pathologist in a school district and although I have the know-how regarding fluency I found it was completely different working with my own child than one of my students. There was so much frustration on both ends and I knew I needed to step back into my "mom" role rather than therapist. When I decided to seek private therapy, I knew Dana was the one to call. As a professional, I had received only positive feedback from families who had worked with her. Now, with my son as one of her clients and I can absolutely attest that she is the best around in the field of stuttering. She has been and continues to be so helpful to our family. She is so knowledgeable and each session we soak up all of her feedback. My son also participates in a monthly community group with her along with similar aged peers who also stutter. She truly designs sessions and programs to meet a child's need. If you have any concerns regarding fluency I encourage you reach out to her!

Dana has helped my son in so many ways. He loves going to therapy each week and activities she’s organized with peers. She’s helped grow his confidence and helped our whole family know more about stuttering.

Dana is amazing! I’ve struggled with a stutter all my life and have been afraid to confront it for a long time. When I finally decided to reach out, Dana was a great listener and very sympathetic. Throughout our sessions, she not only helped with speaking strategies but also discussed the effect my stutter has had on different aspects of my life. She always left the choice of what I wanted to focus on to me, as she understands the importance of individualized treatment. After doing speech therapy with Dana, my self confidence has increased and I don’t feel like my stutter has control over my life anymore. This was all due to Dana’s guidance, strategies, kindness, and care.

My son went to Dana for over a year and he made no progress with his stuttering. It wasn't clear what we should be doing at home with him, which didn't impress me, as stuttering is something that kids need help with finding the best coping tools at all times. I am not doing online sessions with someone in Ohio that has made tremendous progress with him.

Shine has helped my daughter crush so many goals in such a short amount of time. This clinic is very autism affirming and meets your kiddo right where they need to be met! Maggie has been a dream!

We had a fantastic experience from the start! We worked with Amy for an OT evaluation for my young son. She jumped right in, asking me important questions while presenting new and exciting toys to my son. He got along with her right away, she was incredibly approachable and my son instantly recognized the experience as a safe place…and so did I! I answered Amy’s questions honestly and she never had any judgement, only excellent follow up questions to ensure her understanding. We left with so many handouts and resources and more importantly, a lot of confidence! My husband and I received his evaluation today and are excited to see how Shine (and Amy!) can help us in the future! Incredibly grateful!!

My learner has had the best experience at Shine! The progress I have seen in my kiddo in less than a year has been absolutely phenomenal! She will soon transition into kindergarten 🥹 I trust them fully, and would recommend them to anyone! thank you Shine ! We love you guys!

Shine has been such a pivotal part of Torie’s journey! He has grown so much in his life skills since starting there. We love SHINE!! The staff is so personable and caring and it really feels like a family welcoming environment!

I love Shine Therapy ! And would recommend them to Everybody!! Very clean environment! The pick up and drop off is quick and easy.. At Shine Pediatric my children receive love and care from their therapist.

Nurturing and engaging center in a beautiful facility! Warm and loving with amazing employees!! Their love for children and energy to help them succeed sets Shine apart from other centers.

Omg this place is so lucky to have BCBA Jacob Bright!! He was an amazing BCBA when we worked together! Was the quickest to help when ANYONE was in need of some assistance, he always could tell when someone (rbt, management, BCBA’s) needed a minute to themselves or just needed to rant and he would listen with no judgement which was always nice. This job definitely is a hard one but having him at our sides made it a piece of cake ❤️

The receptionist "Katie" is such a breath of fresh air…love her vibes. Kudos to whomever hired her!!!

…easterseals has always been a wonderful place- just recently I was so disappointed when I asked a staff there about outside respite seeing how wonderful they seemed to be-; and they willingly went thru the entire process, only to suddenly avoid all contact with both me and the organization- being that they’re affiliated with easterseals, I just would have expected a more professional and gentle outcome "in knowing what us parents endure"- I just canceled the process- im torn and heartbroken. lesson learned. thankfully my son forgot, as sadly id excitedly once told him- shame on the staff. i lost so much respect on so many angles. i had already let previous mild disappointments go, but this was the finale. everything that seems to be, simply isn’t always.

The doctor was very dismissive, judgemental of sorts. She was rude to his dad and I. She spent 4 hours with my son. All while his school, and myself, see him EVERY SINGLE DAY. She wants my son on meds instead of special classes to help him. He has sensory and sound problems. She told me he could understand everything being told to him. We know that part. He only had issues expressing his feelings. I'm getting a second opinion. DON'T TAKE YOUR KID HERE IF YOU'RE WANTING REAL RESULTS.

Easter Seals Crossroads 2nd program visit, because of earlier job placement at (LCG), staff was professional and successful for (disability) adult persons with sustainability resources and job employment & training needs and other concerns. Pic of ESC Christmas Celebration 2024. amk

Wonderful experience! The staff were all highly professional and very caring. I can't say enough good about these people. They assisted me with employment and I couldn't be happier in my new job. THANKS TO ALL!

My overall experience with this facility & the employee's was a very pleasant one. The employee's were very polite & helpful. The building was always well kept & clean. As was the parking lot.

Dr Gale is very nice and professional

I love the positive changes on my son's life week by week. The care, the love and support from each therapist and his BCBA, the constant communication and understanding is priceless to our family. We really appreciate Hopebridge Care and attention to our little special one and always recommended to anyone with likely needs. Kudos to the West side Location at Eagle Creek!!

I was told after my son left he could visit his therapist who he was really attached to. After he no longer attended they refuse to let him see her. Knowing he has autism and has been crying for her. I guess when the money stopped the caring did as well.

We been waiting to get my son in this place for 4 years he has had 2 evaluations since and no one has called to get him started

I would definitely recommend Hope Of Bridge to any one staff very nice and professional they explained everything so easy for us to understand

Very professional

I don’t like leaving bad reviews but.. I sent my daughter to this Parkdale location for therapy. She hadn’t been there a full month I will say about 2.5 weeks. Don’t get me wrong I loved the fact that she loved going socializing a little bit more with other children with similar situations as my daughter. I trusted that my child would be safe in the hands of the Hopebridge staff members , I’m not saying by any means that all locations & staff are no good. But I had a not so good experience, at this particular location & whomever was supposed to be doing their job making sure my child was safe in their care. To the staff that actually have a heart and truly cared for my child and did what they knew in their heart was right I appreciate you. What I didn’t like was my child coming home with a bruise scratches, & a knot on her forehead. After I noticed the bruise under her eye I asked what happened & requested that staff send updates and let me know if she has any injuries no matter how minor or major. I didn’t send my child with scratches, a bruise or a knot on any occasions. So of course as a truly loving and caring mother, I wanted to know what was going on. I asked about the bruise under her eye, the knot on her forehead and the scratches on her bottom. But apparently every time I’d ask no one knew anything & no incident reports were made. I spoke with a staff member and they mentioned that she may have done these things on her own, if that were the case why was she unattended? Also why wouldn’t the AM or PM staff report the incident to me and make an incident report? I knew that was false , for starters my daughter doesn’t self harm secondly the therapist that was taking care of my daughter that day had about medium length stiletto shaped nails on. So I know exactly where the scratches came from that day. I have nothing against nails, shapes or lengths but please don’t lie to my face and tell me that she’d done that by herself also my baby is 2. And stiletto nail shape for a job working with children, I think is inappropriate. I’m not posting the scratches where the sun doesn’t shine btw. But I am posting the knot and bruise.

I had a great experience with first steps coordinator, Mary! She helped me when my child needed speech therapy and was very timely in getting back if I had a question. She communicated well and overall I was pleased with this service.

I've been dealing with this program off and on for 16 years. It's only gone downhill. The service coordinators all seen to hate their job. I've already asked for a switch once and they acted like they didn't want to do it. Finally did it and this one actually does her job and gets things moving but she's not friendly at all. We've gotta deal with these people for roughly 3 years. I'm sorry but I don't want to deal with a rude person that's in charge of my child's care for 3 years. That's miserable. Then ours does stuff behind our back without consulting us first.. things that we didn't want done. I'm be happy once I'm done dealing with this program.

I love 1st steps the OT & ST is amazing and wish it can be continued pass 3 years old. My son enjoys that time and I can feel he wants more 😔 can it be up to 5 years old instead 🥰 I loved my therapist savanna and OT Amber wonderful with kids loved Nas as if it were their own no cap I love this program for babies!

Honestly I feel like it would have been a good program for my son but with the two coordinators we had, my son was not able to take advantage of all that could've been offered. Our first coordinator just up and quit without a warning and our second coordinator was not really attentive nor held accountable for the delays in programs needed for my son development and not so pleasant. We are now in transitioning of the program and wish things was different. Our two advisors we had since being in the program at 4 months are amazing though.

My son started around 5 months ago, and since then had grown tremendously. He’s met all of the goals we had placed and is booming in his speech, communication in general, and behavior. The two therapist we were assigned are the sweetest humans I’ve met. By far his favorite hour of the week every week!! I couldn’t be any more pleased with the communication this service offers to me as well, always so caring.

I am using my boyfriend's account to type. This is the mother. We had our son in the program for over a year and had a few bad turnouts. Only ONE therapist we actually liked. Seems to us that these women are getting paid to be rude and lazy. We were lied to twice by an apparent office manager who clearly didn't address our issues in the way she should. When we had a falling out, there was NO apology or explanation of THEIR mistakes. Completely useless overall. Don't waste your time and trust FOR REAL

I had a wonderful experience with the evaluation process with Central Indiana First Steps. I was concerned about getting my son evaluated with all the Covid-19 process changes but I received a response within one day. Carlee Bounds from First Steps was on top of everything and was able to go through all the paperwork on the phone and get a Zoom evaluation done that week. I know the process typically takes longer from what I have heard but Carlee was "on it". Thanks for making this process so painless during such a stressful time!
