FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our services, scheduling, and what to expect.
Getting Started
How do I get started?
Send a message through the contact form or email Abby@redcloverspeech.com. She responds within one to two business days. The first step is a free conversation — not a formal evaluation — so you can talk through concerns and decide together what comes next.
Are you taking new clients?
Yes. Abby is currently accepting new clients for pediatric and adult speech therapy.
What happens during the first consultation?
The initial consultation is a conversation — not a formal evaluation. You'll discuss your concerns, relevant history, and goals. Abby will explain her approach and recommend whether a full evaluation and therapy plan are appropriate. Fees and a possible plan are discussed at that consult.
Do I need a referral?
No. You do not need a physician or school referral to get in touch. Families and adults can reach out directly.
Services & Payment
Who do you work with?
Abby works with children through adults. Care is play-based and child-led for younger clients, and person- and family-centered for adults.
Do you offer telehealth and home visits?
Yes — both. Secure telehealth is available to clients who are physically located anywhere in Vermont. Home visits are offered in Waterbury, Waterbury Center, Stowe, Duxbury, Waitsfield, and Fayston. There is no clinic; Abby comes to you or meets you by video.
How long are sessions, and how often would we meet?
It depends on the individual. Session length and frequency are decided together after the free consult, based on goals and what fits your family.
How much does therapy cost?
Red Clover is private pay. Specific fees are discussed during the free initial consultation, before you commit to an evaluation or ongoing therapy.
Do you accept insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare?
No. Red Clover does not bill insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, or school districts. Payment is due at the time of service. Upon request, Abby can provide a superbill — an itemized receipt you may submit to your insurance plan for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage is never guaranteed.
Do you work with schools or IEP teams?
Yes. Abby collaborates with schools and IEP teams when that helps a child’s communication carry over between home and school. She does not bill the school district; private therapy is separate from school-based services.
