Boston Speech Therapy

What Boston Speech Therapy does

Boston Speech Therapy, operating as Boston Speech Therapeutics LLC, is a privately-held speech-language pathology private practice founded in 2012 by Tanya Acosta, M.A. CCC-SLP, and headquartered at 464 Granite Ave Suite #26 in Milton, Massachusetts. The practice delivers speech and language therapy services on a mobile basis — in clients' homes, daycare centers, schools, and offices — across the Metro Boston area, with online teletherapy available via secure portal or Skype as a remote alternative. Its core service set spans comprehensive speech and language evaluations (including bilingual English/Spanish and Arabic assessments), articulation therapy, accent modification, AAC support using Proloquo2Go on iPad, autism/PDD therapy, feeding therapy, fluency/stuttering therapy, voice therapy, language disorder treatment, central auditory processing disorder treatment, hearing screenings, and the Wilson Reading Program for literacy.

The company also operates structured group offerings, notably Social Skills Groups (Chatterboxes for ages 7-11 and Socialites for ages 11-16), delivered as eight 60-minute private-pay classes, and provides SLPA supervision and school-based consulting services. Revenue is generated through two streams: insurance billing under in-network relationships with Harvard Pilgrim, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Tufts Health Plan, and United Healthcare, and private pay accepted via cash, check, or PayPal, with co-pays due at time of service. Marketing is conducted through the company's bilingual (English/Spanish) website, organic social on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/Pinterest, and free 10-15 minute phone consultations that function as the top-of-funnel conversion touchpoint.

The firm employs 7 people and operates as a founder-owned LLC with no external investment, parent company, or subsidiary structure. The underlying technology stack is modest: a WordPress-based content site, standard telepractice tooling, and consumer-grade AAC applications on iPad. HIPAA privacy compliance is documented via a published Notice of Privacy Practices. The practice's competitive positioning rests on the founder's bilingual credentials, multi-setting clinical experience, mobile in-home delivery model, and specialty multilingual evaluation capabilities rather than on proprietary technology.

Broad incumbents

• EBS Healthcare: National provider of school-based and pediatric speech-language pathology, OT, and ABA staffing and services. Comparable through the school SLP delivery model and pediatric clinical scope, but operating at multi-state enterprise scale.
• PresenceLearning: Established teletherapy and evaluation provider for K-12 schools, offering SLP, OT, and mental health services at district scale. Comparable via the school-based SLP consulting angle, though at much larger scale and B2B-distributed.
• Soliant Health: Healthcare staffing and workforce solutions company placing SLPs, OTs, and other allied health professionals into school and clinical settings. Comparable through the school SLP staffing and consulting angle of Boston Speech's practice.

Direct peers

• Better Speech: Online speech therapy platform offering 1:1 sessions with licensed SLPs across speech, language, and accent modification. Closely aligned on services (articulation, accent modification, language disorders) and on insurance/private-pay model.
• TinyEYE Therapy Services: Online speech-language pathology service for schools and families, with online therapy software. Comparable on teletherapy delivery, school partnerships, and pediatric SLP focus.
• Great Speech: Online speech therapy provider serving children and adults virtually, including group sessions and school partnerships. Comparable as a virtual-first SLP practice with similar service taxonomy (articulation, language, fluency, social pragmatics).
• Expressable: National online speech therapy practice delivering 1:1 SLP sessions via teletherapy, with insurance billing and pediatric/adult coverage. Directly comparable to Boston Speech Therapy's clinical offering, though operating at much greater scale and fully remote.

Others

• Talkiatry: Tech-enabled outpatient mental health practice. Not a direct SLP peer but comparable as a venture-backed, multi-state clinical practice that uses technology to scale licensed-clinician delivery; relevant as a strategic/structural analog.

Emerging players
