BLOOMINGTON PEDIATRIC SPEECH THERAPY LLC

What BLOOMINGTON PEDIATRIC SPEECH THERAPY LLC does

Bloomington Pediatric Speech Therapy LLC is a privately held speech-language pathology practice founded in 2011 by Melinda Dowling in Bloomington, Indiana, with Rachel Mahrt joining as co-owner in 2013. The company delivers evaluations and treatment for pediatric speech and language challenges — including articulation, preschool and school-age language disorders, and social language skills — using the Social Thinking methodology. It has expanded its service portfolio to include neurodiverse adult support (executive functioning and social language for professionals and college students), social skills groups, summer speech therapy for children with existing IEPs, and contract speech therapy services for public, private, and charter schools throughout south central Indiana since 2013. The clinic operates from a two-room office at The Fields Professional Offices in Bloomington, with a team of approximately six experienced speech-language pathologists guided by the two co-owners.

The business model combines insurance-billed clinical services (Anthem in-network) with cash pay options and B2B school district contracts. Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed; the practice does not accept Medicaid but provides documentation for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. Headcount is approximately six total staff under two owner-operators, and no external funding, institutional investment, or parent company is present in the disclosures.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led, driven by direct referrals from healthcare providers and families, school district outreach to superintendents and special education directors, and basic website presence. Revenue mechanics are typical of a small clinical services practice: recurring therapy sessions in-clinic and on-site at partner schools. The company has no AI, software, or platform technology disclosed; the offering is a human-delivered clinical service grounded in evidence-based therapy frameworks.

Direct peers

• Expressable: Online pediatric and adult speech therapy provider offering 1:1 SLP sessions with insurance and cash-pay options. Directly comparable to BPST's pediatric speech therapy line, with a similar therapy-focused, pay-per-session model, though delivered virtually rather than in a brick-and-mortar clinic.
• PresenceLearning: Provides online speech-language pathology, occupational, and mental health services to K-12 schools. Directly comparable to BPST's school contracting line, with overlapping SLP-for-schools delivery model, though delivered via telepractice at national scale.
• The Hello Foundation: Pediatric speech-language pathology practice serving children in schools and clinics, with a mix of in-person and virtual services. Comparable to BPST in combining school-based SLP contracts with clinical services for pediatric speech and language disorders.
• Great Speech: Telepractice speech therapy company serving children and adults across the U.S. Comparable to BPST in targeting speech and language disorders with licensed SLPs and accepting insurance, but operates nationally online rather than from a single clinic.
• Chatterbox Speech Therapy: Pediatric speech and language therapy clinic offering evaluations, individual therapy, and social skills groups for children. Closely comparable to BPST's in-clinic pediatric service mix, particularly the social skills group and articulation offerings.

Broad incumbents

• EBS Healthcare: Large provider of school-based and pediatric speech, occupational, and physical therapy staffing and related professional development. Overlaps directly with BPST's school contracting line but operates at national scale across multiple therapy disciplines.
• ProCare Therapy: National therapy and school psychologist staffing firm placing SLPs and other clinicians into K-12 schools. Comparable to BPST in the school-contracting dimension but serves districts at national scale and across multiple allied health disciplines.
• TherapyWorks: Multi-site pediatric therapy provider offering speech, occupational, and physical therapy in clinic settings. Comparable to BPST as a pediatric therapy clinic operator, but with a broader multi-discipline and multi-location footprint.
• Soliant Health: Healthcare staffing company placing SLPs, OTs, and other clinicians into school districts nationwide. Comparable to BPST's school contracting business as a competing source of contracted SLP capacity for districts in Indiana and beyond.

Emerging players

• SpeechEase Therapy: Smaller pediatric speech therapy practice offering evaluations, individual therapy, and school services. Comparable to BPST as a similarly-sized private practice competing for pediatric SLP referrals and school contracts in overlapping geographies.
