What Logopedie Plus does

LogopediePlus (legal entity Plus B.V., KvK 72127112) is a private Dutch speech therapy practice headquartered in Hengelo, Overijssel, with approximately 19 speech therapists operating across 15 locations in the Netherlands (Hengelo, Almelo, Arnhem, Didam, Ede, Enschede, Lichtenvoorde, Neede, and Zutphen) plus on-site service delivery at six partner special education schools. The practice specializes in the assessment, treatment, and guidance of children and adults with developmental delays, syndromes, or disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum conditions, and Down syndrome. Core treatment modalities include pre-verbal speech therapy (for eating/drinking problems), Total Communication, Dutch Sign Language (NmG), the Thinking Stimulating Conversation Method (DGM, developed by Marion Blank), Hanen parent training ("Praten doe je met z'n tweeën"), dyslexia and Leespraat treatment, and sensory information processing therapy. The two practice holders are Sylvia van den Berg-Brok (praktijkhouder) and Christa te Winkel MSc (also serving as Data Protection Officer and Hanen-certified course leader).

The business operates a referral-driven healthcare model: individual speech therapy is covered under the basic health insurance package (basispakket) of all Dutch health insurers and requires a referral from a GP (huisarts) or medical specialist, with direct billing available to most insurers (Menzis, CZ, VGZ, Achmea). The practice supplements insurance-reimbursed clinical work with fee-based educational courses — a four-evening Sign Language Course (€55/person), Hanen parent courses (1 information evening, 8 parent meetings, 3 home visits; fully reimbursed with referral), and DGM courses for parents, caregivers, and teachers. All therapists are registered in the Kwaliteitsregister voor Logopedisten, members of the NVLF (Nederlandse Vereniging voor Logopedie en Foniatrie), and the practice received the Certificaat Kwaliteitscyclus Logopedie on 22 January 2024 (three-year validity). Go-to-market combines GP/specialist referral channels, school-based embedded service delivery, direct patient enrollment via phone/email, and the website (logopedieplus.nl) as a top-of-funnel content asset.

The firm has no disclosed external investors, no parent company, and no funding rounds recorded; ownership appears concentrated with the practice holders. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and there is no AI/ML or software-product layer described in the available information — the offering is a clinical services business, not a technology platform.

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Better Speech: Online speech therapy provider offering parent-focused and child-focused SLP services via telehealth. Comparable at the service-category level (speech therapy, parent engagement) but delivers digitally and currently serves primarily U.S. patients — a potential long-horizon competitive threat rather than a direct Dutch competitor.
• TinyEYE Therapy Services: Online speech-language therapy provider serving schools and families, including telepractice for pediatric speech sound and language disorders. Comparable in treating pediatric speech/language delays via online and school-embedded models.
• Expressable: U.S.-based online speech therapy practice emphasizing parent coaching and family-centered care, similar to LogopediePlus's Hanen approach. Not a Dutch competitor today, but illustrative of the parent-coaching SLP model that could expand into Europe.

Direct peers

• GGMD: Dutch organization providing care and support for people with hearing, communication, and language disabilities, including SLP services. Directly comparable patient population and therapy scope, though GGMD is nationally organized and operates its own support framework.
• Koninklijke Kentalis: Dutch specialist organization for people with hearing impairments and complex communication needs, offering diagnostics, treatment, and education across multiple sites. Closest peer in mission and clinical focus (communication disorders, IDD/deaf populations) though operating at national scale rather than regional.
• Auris (Koninklijke Auris Groep): Dutch provider of care, education, and services for people with speech, language, and hearing difficulties, including special education schools. Highly comparable mission and overlapping school-based service delivery model, but substantially larger and nationally distributed.

Broad incumbents

• Adelante: Dutch rehabilitation and audiology organization with pediatric speech-language therapy and special education services. Comparable in treating IDD/acquired communication disorders but broader in scope (rehabilitation, audiology, work reintegration).
• Pento: Large Dutch healthcare and education group including paramedical care (speech therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy) across multiple regions. Overlaps as a multi-site SLP provider but serves a much broader clinical portfolio beyond IDD speech therapy.
