FAQs

  • We’re not a big clinic. We’re real people who care deeply about kids and families - and we’re building The Specialists to be the kind of therapy experience we’d want for our own families.

    Here’s what sets us apart:

    • No waitlists – You shouldn’t have to wait months for help.

    • In-home and virtual care – We meet kids where they feel safest.

    • Strengths-first therapy – We focus on what your child can do, not just what they can’t (no deficit mindset here).

    • Truly personalized plans – Every child is different, so our sessions are too.

    • Family-centered approach – You’re not just along for the ride - you’re our partner in this. We give you the tools and skills you need to continue to support your child even when we’re not there.

    • We’re people first – No scrubs, no buzzwords, just passionate therapists who love what we do and lead with heart.

    We believe therapy should be fun for kids and feel like a breath of fresh air for families- and we’re honored to be part of your child’s journey.

    How You Can Still Use Insurance Now

    Even though we’re not in-network yet, many families still get partial reimbursement through their insurance company. We provide a superbill, which is a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurer.

    What You Do:

    1. Pay us directly at the time of service using HSA/FSA, credit, or debit

    2. Submit the superbill to your insurance provider

    3. Receive reimbursement directly from your insurance (based on your out-of-network benefits)

    We’re happy to walk you through the process or help you ask the right questions to your insurance company, like:

    • Do I have out-of-network benefits for speech or occupational therapy?

    • Is a doctor’s referral or pre-authorization required?

    • How much will I be reimbursed per session?

  • We offer flexible scheduling, including weekday evenings and weekends. Availability varies slightly by location and therapist, but we will work with you to find a time that fits your family’s routine.

  • We provide in-home therapy throughout Southeast Michigan and offer virtual sessions for families across the state. Therapy happens where your child feels most comfortable- at home or online.

  • Yes! Our team has years of experience working with children with a wide range of needs - including autism, sensory differences, speech delays, AAC users, and highly verbal kids with social or emotional challenges. We tailor therapy to meet each child where they are, no matter the starting point.

  • We offer services through private pay and insurance. We're currently in-network with Meridian (effective 9/15/25) and are actively working to become in-network with BCBS, Molina, and Priority Health. No referral or prescription is needed for private pay services, and we accept credit/debit cards, and HSA/FSA payments.
