About Speech & Hearing Associates

Speech & Hearing Associates is a long-standing private practice offering speech-language pathology and audiology services for children and adults in New Jersey and New York. The practice states that it serves patients from very young children through senior citizens, with offices in Denville, Fort Lee, Little Falls, Martinsville, Metuchen, Park Ridge, Roseland, Secaucus, and Westfield, and additional services provided in schools and physician offices. Within speech-language pathology, the clinic offers evaluation and treatment for communication, cognitive-communication, voice, and swallowing concerns, along with teletherapy and group programs. The website highlights support for areas such as articulation and phonological difficulties, late talking and language concerns, autism-related communication needs, social communication, fluency and stuttering, childhood apraxia of speech, AAC, literacy and reading skills, voice disorders, and adult neurological conditions including aphasia, dysarthria, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, brain injury, and related cognitive changes.

The practice describes an individualized model of care built around each person’s history, assessment findings, comfort level, and goals. Evaluations may include play-based activities for younger children or structured standardized testing, followed by a custom treatment plan with clear objectives that can be adjusted over time. Speech-language services are available in person and, for many therapy needs, through secure teletherapy sessions. The site also notes group options such as fluency and stuttering support, social communication groups, literacy and reading programs, executive functioning groups, and Parkinson’s-related SPEAK OUT! sessions. Speech & Hearing Associates emphasizes ongoing professional education, mentoring, and accepted current practices, and its team includes many speech-language pathologists with MA or MS degrees and CCC-SLP credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions

The clinic recommends a full speech-language evaluation whenever a parent is concerned about a child's development rather than waiting to see if the issue resolves on its own. The site notes that even when a child falls within a typical range, an evaluation can clarify strengths and needs, and early intervention can lead to better outcomes when services are needed.

According to the website, the process begins with scheduling and paperwork, followed by a phone discussion with a speech-language pathologist to review medical history and concerns. The assessment may include play-based tasks for young children or standardized testing, and the results are then used to create an individualized treatment plan with clear goals and expectations.

Yes. The practice offers virtual speech-language therapy through secure, HIPAA-compliant video platforms. The site explains that therapy sessions can often be delivered remotely for most communication disorders, although speech-language evaluations will usually still require an in-person visit.

Yes. The website says dedicated staff members work directly with patients and insurance providers to help avoid unexpected costs. It also states that most insurance companies cover speech and language evaluations, but patients are responsible for confirming whether their specific plan requires a referral from a primary care physician and what therapy limits or exclusions apply.

The clinic lists several group options, including fluency and stuttering support groups, social communication groups, summer literacy and reading programs, executive functioning groups, and SPEAK OUT! group therapy for people with Parkinson's disease and related conditions. The site says groups may be offered virtually or in person and typically run once each week.

For social communication groups, the website says the clinic must have a recent speech-language evaluation completed by a speech-language pathologist before participation. To request an appointment or ask about services or programs, patients can call the practice or submit the online request form, and the team will follow up during regular business hours.
