What SPEECH AND LANGUAGE REHABILITATION SERVICES, INC. does

Speech and Language Rehabilitation Services, Inc. is a family-owned, multi-disciplinary therapy practice headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, operating five clinic locations across Eastern North Carolina (Raleigh, Fayetteville, Dunn, Clinton, and Wallace) and providing services in clinic, home, school, daycare, nursing home, and hospital settings. Founded in 1993 as a speech-language pathology practice, the company expanded in 2014 through the creation of wholly-owned subsidiary Therapy Discoveries, PLLC, adding occupational and physical therapy to form a coordinated three-discipline offering for both children and adults. Service scope spans articulation, language development, fluency, voice, social communication, feeding and swallowing, fine motor skills, sensory processing, handwriting, developmental delays, strength, balance, coordination, and mobility, delivered via personalized, evidence-based treatment plans.

The business operates on a professional-services, fee-for-visit revenue model. Reimbursement flows through accepted insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, Cigna, Aetna, Medcost (commercial), multiple NC Medicaid managed care plans (Healthy Blue, WellCare, AmeriHealth Caritas, Carolina Complete Health, UHC Community Plan, NC Medicaid Direct), TRICARE, CHAMPVA, and Medicare, with private-pay accepted. Billing cadence is monthly. Patient acquisition is community-led, driven by referrals from healthcare providers, NC Early Intervention, NC Head Start, schools, and direct family inquiries, supported by blog content and digital intake via digitalintakes.com. The practice maintains regulatory licenses through the North Carolina Board of Examiners and affiliations with ASHA, NCSHA, and the UNC System as a clinical training site.

Governance is founder/family-controlled with no disclosed venture or private equity backing and no parent company. No revenue, headcount, or M&A activity is reported in the source data; the company is actively operating and accepting new patients across all five locations.
