What is SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program?
SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program is a highly effective speech therapy program. It consists of 10 individual speech therapy sessions.

Therapy sessions are twice a week with sessions lasting about 30 minutes.
Upon completion of SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program individual therapy, patients transition to SPEAK OUT! Group®.
