C.U.E.

What C.U.E. does

C.U.E. is a private speech-language pathology practice headquartered in Cary, North Carolina, founded in 2014 by speech-language pathologist Alli Platter, M.S., CCC-SLP. The practice provides personalized intensive therapy and consultation services primarily to children with communication, feeding, and developmental needs, and also serves adults with conditions such as TMJ disorders, dementia-related communication decline, and aphasia. C.U.E. operates with a four-person clinical team and delivers care across three channels: in-clinic sessions at its Cary office, home or school visits within a small radius of Downtown Cary, and virtual consultations using pre-recorded caregiver videos combined with real-time video conferencing.

The practice's core methodology is a trauma-informed, whole-body therapeutic approach that emphasizes neurological functioning, self-regulation, and neuroplasticity to address feeding and communication disorders. Therapy is delivered in an intensive course-of-care model (1-4 weeks, 5 days per week, 1-2 sessions per day of 30-60 minutes each). Service lines include autism spectrum support, feeding therapy, language delays, orofacial disorders, AAC device implementation, and pre/post tongue-tie care for pediatric patients, plus TMJ pain, dementia care, and aphasia for adults. Caregivers actively participate in sessions and receive coaching to extend therapy gains into daily routines, with services offered in both English and Spanish.

C.U.E. operates as a private-pay practice with no insurance billing and no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated through per-session unit pricing across intensive therapy blocks and consultation packages of 30, 45, or 60 minutes. The business is owned solely by its founder, has not raised external capital, has no parent company, subsidiaries, partnerships, or acquisitions, and relies on direct-to-consumer customer acquisition via its website, organic search, and word-of-mouth referrals rather than paid marketing channels.
