Help With Funding Stuttering Treatment

Funding Your Stuttering Treatment

The information below will offer help for funding the treatment of a stuttering child, toddler or an adult.

Some health insurance companies may reimburse for treatment according to your plan’s coverage. Check your Benefits Booklet to see if speech therapy is covered. Click here for Important Insurance Guidelines: Guide for Obtaining Reimbursement for Stuttering Treatment which is an extensive guide to finding your way through the insurance process.

We accept Visa or Mastercard and American Express

Program fees and expenses incurred (meals, hotel, travel) may be tax deductible. Check with your tax advisor or accountant

For Pre-School - Age 18

Some public school systems pay for students’ participation in the treatment. Public Law 94-142 mandates services for the “speech impaired”. If your child’s school district does not have a specialist in stuttering, parents can request funding for outside specialized treatment.

For Those Over 18

Many State Offices of Vocational Rehabilitation pay in full or in part for participation in our program. Search online or call or call your state government for your local office. If you need help in doing this, we are happy to assist you. AIS is a registered vendor with New York state’s VESID, New Jersey’s DVR, Connecticut’s BRS and other states as well.

Some companies have employee development programs that may fund your participation. Companies that have done so are Mobil Oil, Grumman Aircraft, Spartan Foods, Equitable Life, and IBM. Check with your Personnel or Human Resource Department.

There is also a limited amount of scholarship funds available for individuals who qualify. If you feel you might qualify, an application for funding may be downloaded here: Application for Financial Assistance: Adobe Acrobat required.
