At Speech Now Therapy Center, we value the strong relationships we share with pediatricians, therapists, educators, and other professionals in our community. You’re often the first to notice when a child could benefit from extra support with communication, and your referrals make early help possible.
Our team is dedicated to working closely with you and the families you serve to ensure consistent, high-quality care. We believe collaboration between providers leads to the best outcomes—and to more confident, engaged communicators.
Whether you’re a professional making a referral or a parent reaching out directly, we’re here to make the process simple, supportive, and transparent.
We accept referrals for children and young adults from birth through 21 years of age.
Fax is our preferred method for receiving referrals, but phone and email are also available if that’s easier for you.
(Preferred)
Please include:
Our completed Speech Now Therapy Center referral form (see below).
Recent clinic notes or evaluation summaries, if available.
Insurance information, if you have it on hand.
If you’d prefer to call, you can reach us at:
(515) 207-2550.
We’ll ask for a few quick details—
your contact information, the child’s name and date of birth, and a brief reason for the referral.
Referrals can also be emailed to:
laceyseawright@speechnowtherapy.com
Please use a secure system when possible and keep personal health details minimal. You can attach the completed referral form if needed.
To keep things simple, we offer a fillable PDF referral form. You can complete it digitally or print and fax it.
This form can be completed by professionals, community partners, and families—no doctor’s referral is required for most insurance plans.
Each section is short and straightforward so you can share only what’s needed to help us connect with the family quickly.
We support children and young adults across a wide range of speech and language needs, including:
Late talking and early language delays
Speech sound and articulation challenges
Phonological disorders
Language delays or disorders
Stuttering and fluency
Social communication and pragmatic language
Early support for AAC and alternative communication
Please note: We do not provide feeding or swallowing therapy, but we’re glad to connect families with clinics that specialize in those areas if needed.
Speech Now Therapy Center is in network with several insurance plans listed below. Families are always encouraged to check directly with their insurance company for coverage details and referral requirements.

For families who prefer to pay privately or whose plans are not listed, we’re happy to review self-pay rates and options during initial contact.
Once we receive your referral, we reach out to families within 48 business hours to start the process.
When we call, we’ll:
Learn more about their communication goals and concerns.
Review insurance or payment questions.
Schedule an evaluation or consultation that works for their family.
With caregiver consent, we are happy to share evaluation summaries or updates with the referring provider so that care can remain connected and collaborative.
If you’re ever unsure whether to refer a child, please call or email us. We’re always glad to talk it through together.
