Speech Therapy in Richmond specifically

Greater Richmond has many pediatric speech-language providers across the city and surrounding counties — private clinics, hospital-based programs at CHoR and VCU Health, and school-based services. Several clinics emphasize AAC and a total-communication approach.

Three main pathways deliver speech therapy in Richmond:

  • Early intervention (under 3): Speech-language services are a core part of the Infant & Toddler Connection.
  • School-based: If communication affects education, speech-language services can be written into an IEP by your division (Richmond City, Henrico, Chesterfield, or Hanover).
  • Clinic-based / medical: Private and hospital clinics provide medically-oriented speech therapy, covered by insurance or Cardinal Care Medicaid.

These can run in parallel — a child might get school-based speech during the day and clinic-based AAC support after hours.
