One important detail

Speech therapy in familiar community settings.

CAB provides speech-language services through scheduled appointments at participating schools and centers. We help families explore which currently available location or online option may best fit their child.

At participating Bloom Academy locations, children who are not enrolled at Bloom may also inquire about receiving CAB therapy inside the building. Confirm current location and appointment availability with our team before visiting.

✓
For enrolled partner families

Ask whether therapy is being coordinated through your child’s participating center and what scheduling options are available.

✓
For families outside Bloom

At participating Bloom locations, you can still request CAB speech therapy without enrolling your child in the preschool.

✓
Appointments, not walk-ins

CAB confirms eligibility, scheduling, arrival instructions, and the appropriate setting before a visit.

Surrounding areas

Live nearby but not in one of these cities? Tell us your general location. CAB can discuss the current service area, capacity, and whether Florida teletherapy might fit.

Care that connects to everyday life

Supporting communication at home, at school, and beyond.

Speech and language concerns can affect play, preschool participation, following directions, making requests, expressing ideas, or how easily other people understand a child.

CAB works with families to discuss appropriate evaluation and therapy options. Depending on clinical needs, goals may address speech sound clarity, early language, understanding and expressing language, fluency, functional communication, and family strategies.

Care is individualized rather than based on a single diagnosis. Many CAB therapy visits are approximately 30 minutes, with exact arrangements determined during intake and scheduling.

Getting started

How CAB helps you find the right next step

You don’t need to know exactly which speech-language service your child requires before contacting us.

01 · REACH OUT

Tell us what concerns you

Share your child’s age, communication concerns, and the area or partner center you’re interested in. It’s helpful to mention whether your child attends a partner school.

02 · DISCUSS OPTIONS

Review the care setting

We discuss current clinician availability, whether a partner-site appointment is suitable, and whether an evaluation or another next step may be appropriate.

03 · CONFIRM PAYMENT

Understand the arrangements

Ask about select insurance plans, applicable Step Up for Students scholarship funding, and private-pay options. Coverage and requirements vary.

04 · SCHEDULE CARE

Plan the appointment

When an appointment is available, CAB confirms the time, location, arrival instructions, and what documentation may be needed before services begin.

Payment questions, made simpler

Insurance, scholarships & private-pay options

We can help your family understand what to verify before services. Participation with a company or program never guarantees that every child, service, or plan will be covered.

Select Insurance Plans

Coverage depends on the exact insurance product, network, service, and any referral or authorization requirements.

Step Up for Students

Approved FES-UA scholarship funds may help pay for eligible speech-language services when current program and provider requirements are met.

Private Pay

Families who are not using insurance or scholarship funding can ask CAB about private-pay rates and payment arrangements.

Questions families ask

What to know before contacting CAB

Does my child need to attend Bloom Academy to receive CAB speech therapy inside Bloom?

No. At participating Bloom locations, CAB also serves children who are not enrolled in Bloom Academy. Appointment access, site rules, and clinician availability must be confirmed through CAB in advance.

Do you have an office in Cape Coral, Port Charlotte, or every city listed?

Not necessarily. This page describes communities where families may seek CAB services, along with particular partner buildings used for scheduled care. It does not imply a separate CAB-owned clinic or walk-in reception office in every city.

Can any family receive a free screening at a partner site?

No. Complimentary partner-site screenings, when offered, are intended for children currently enrolled at that participating partner and are subject to scheduled screening blocks and capacity. A child who is not enrolled may still inquire about speech therapy services; that does not automatically include a complimentary screening.

Can my child receive CAB therapy at Little Dreamers without being enrolled there?

Contact CAB to confirm current Little Dreamers arrangements, including the eligible families, exact site, and scheduling requirements. Enrollment rules and visitor access can differ among partner organizations.

What if the nearest partner site isn’t suitable or doesn’t have availability?

Our team can discuss other currently available service options, including online speech-language therapy across Florida when clinically appropriate.

Do you provide speech therapy at schools or daycares outside these partner centers?

Some school or daycare appointments may be possible when CAB has appropriate staffing, permissions, and scheduling arrangements. Such visits are reviewed individually and are not guaranteed in every community.

Real conversations, practical next steps

Ready to talk about your child’s communication?

Tell us your preferred community or partner center and what you’re noticing. We’ll help you understand the current appointment options without promising a location or opening that hasn’t been confirmed.
