PPEC Speech Therapy
Speech therapy is specifically tailored to cater to the distinctive requirements of children with medical fragilities, aiming to enhance their capability to communicate. The therapy addresses issues ranging from speaking challenges to swallowing difficulties. Our therapists use a variety of methods and resources, including activities to strengthen the muscles involved in speech and eating, engaging games to ensure sessions are both fun and effective, and supportive technology for those who communicate non-verbally. The primary goals are to encourage the child’s self-expression, elevate their confidence, and improve their day-to-day interactions, making sure they can express their wants and feelings more clearly, and ensuring meals are safe and enjoyable. This detailed approach to speech therapy is incorporated into the broader care plan, aimed at complementing their overall medical care and fostering their growth and development.

Offering speech therapy within our Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) services at Children’s Rehab provides a streamlined, efficient approach to care that greatly benefits medically fragile children. Having both services under one roof allows for a cohesive treatment plan, where speech therapy goals are integrated with the child’s broader healthcare and developmental objectives. This arrangement fosters better communication among caregivers, therapists, and medical staff, ensuring that every aspect of the child’s care is aligned and mutually reinforcing. It eliminates the need for multiple appointments in different locations, reducing stress for families and making it easier to track progress. It enables immediate collaboration if a child’s needs change, allowing for swift adjustments to their care plan. This integrated care model supports the child’s speech and language development and promotes their overall health, wellbeing, and readiness to learn and engage with the world around them.

Frequently Asked Questions
PPEC services are covered by Medicaid and most private insurance plans. Once a child is deemed eligible for PPEC services based on medical necessity, the cost is fully covered, reducing the financial burden on families. Speech therapy for PPEC patients is included.
PPEC speech therapy encompasses a wide range of interventions tailored to each child’s specific needs. Services can include articulation therapy, language intervention activities, and oral-motor or swallowing therapy. Our PPEC speech therapists work closely with each child, their family, and other healthcare providers to create and implement an effective treatment plan.
While home nursing care provides necessary medical support, PPEC services offer a more comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach. Speech therapy for PPEC patients takes place in a supportive, structured, and social environment, allowing children to engage and interact with peers. This social aspect can significantly improve communication skills and foster emotional and cognitive development.
If your medically fragile child also has a developmental delay, they are likely to benefit even more from our PPEC services. Our multidisciplinary team of professionals, including PPEC speech therapists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists, is experienced in working with children with a range of developmental delays. Our individualized care plans focus on meeting each child’s specific needs and maximizing their potential.
Medicaid eligibility is complex and varies from state to state, taking into account factors like family size and specific medical needs. We would recommend reaching out to your local Medicaid office or a social worker for the most current and accurate information regarding income limits when qualifying for Medicaid.
