Better Speech

Better Speech is an online speech therapy platform that connects individuals of all ages with licensed and certified speech-language pathologists via live video sessions. The service aims to make speech therapy more accessible and convenient by eliminating geographical constraints and typical waitlists. Users start with a free evaluation to assess their needs, after which the platform matches them with an appropriate therapist. Therapy sessions are conducted weekly via Zoom, allowing users to receive personalized care from the comfort of their own homes. Better Speech also offers unlimited practice materials between sessions to reinforce progress.

The platform addresses a wide range of communication needs, including speech delays, voice disorders, language delays, stuttering, apraxia of speech, aphasia, and accent reduction. It serves both children and adults, and also provides dedicated programs for schools. Better Speech accepts most major insurance plans, as well as FSA/HSA and Medicare Advantage, potentially reducing out-of-pocket costs. The service is available across all 50 U.S. states, and the therapists are vetted for qualifications and experience.

Better Speech is designed as a SaaS telehealth solution, emphasizing convenience and affordability compared to traditional in-person therapy. Its approach is backed by academic research indicating that online speech therapy can be equally effective.
