Frequently Asked Questions

  • Where are you located?

    We’re based in Bozeman, Montana, and proudly serve families in the surrounding areas. For families outside the state, we are available for private-pay consultations, so distance doesn’t have to stand in the way of getting guidance and support for your child.

  • Do you offer in-home visits?

    Yes! In-home visits are a core part of our approach. We believe children thrive in familiar environments and it allows us to tailor support to your daily routines.

  • What ages do you work with?

    We support infants, toddlers, and young children—typically from birth through early elementary years—depending on the area of concern. Additional support is available to older children and adults, specifically with feeding/swallowing challenges, oromyofacial dysfunction, and/or craniosacral therapy needs.

  • How do I know if my child needs support?

    If you’re noticing challenges with feeding, speech development, motor skills, or general regulation, we’re happy to talk with you. You don’t need a referral to reach out—we offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you decide if an evaluation is the next step.

  • What can I expect at the evaluation?

    The first session is typically an evaluation. We’ll talk with you about your concerns, observe and interact with your child, goals for therapy, and begin to form a plan together. It’s low-pressure, relationship-based, and guided by your child’s needs.

  • What should I bring to the evaluation?

    For your first session, please have any medical records, developmental information, and completed paperwork. If your visit is for a feeding evaluation, it’s helpful to also have:

    - A few foods your child enjoys

    - One food that is challenging for the

    - Any cups, bottles, or utensils your child currently uses

  • How often is therapy?

    This varies by child. Some families are seen weekly, others less frequently. We’ll discuss a schedule that fits your family and supports your goals.

  • Can I be present during therapy?

    Absolutely. We encourage parent and caregiver involvement—it’s one of the most important parts of creating lasting change. Though some children do a little better when they have a bit of space to explore on their own, and we can discuss what will work best for your child.

  • Do you collaborate with other providers?

    Yes! With your permission, we’re happy to collaborate with your child’s care team to ensure a holistic approach. Working together allows us to align strategies, share insights, and create a plan that addresses your child’s unique needs across feeding, speech, and overall development.

  • How can I support my child’s progress at home?

    We believe in the power of a team approach. Throughout therapy, we’ll provide you with strategies and exercises that can be practiced at home. Consistency and support from caregivers are key to helping your child make the most of therapy.

  • How do I get started?

    You can reach out through our contact form, send us an email, or give us a call. After a brief consultation, we’ll guide you through setting up your first appointment and outline the next steps, so you know what to expect.

  • Do you accept insurance?

    We are in-network with several insurance providers, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Allegiance, Cigna, Mountain Health Co-op, Pacific Source, Aetna, First Choice Health, CHIP, and HMK+ (Medicaid). For families with other insurance plans, we can submit claims to out-of-network providers, but please note that any costs not covered by your insurance would be the family’s responsibility. A superbill can also be provided to help with reimbursement.
