Children through adults
Capland Speech Therapy Center opened its doors in 1953 as a small program dedicated to helping local children find their voice. More than seventy years later, we're still here — now serving individuals of every age across Jefferson, Orange, Hardin, and the surrounding counties.
We provide diagnostic evaluations and individualized therapy for speech, language, cognitive, and swallowing disorders. Every client starts with a comprehensive assessment so we understand exactly what the client’s communication level is before we build a treatment plan based on our assessment. From there, therapy is tailored — not templated.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, our mission has never changed: quality care should be within reach for the people who need it. Also, financial assistance is offered to patients presenting financial need.
We serve ages 3 and up

Who We Help
Communication challenges look different at every age. Find where you or your loved one fits — we'll take it from there.
Children (Birth to 5)
Early speech and language delays are one of the most common reasons families call us. If your child isn't talking yet, is hard to understand, or seems frustrated trying to communicate, an evaluation is the right first step. Early support makes a measurable difference.
School-Age & Teens
Difficulty with sounds, following directions, expressing ideas, or stuttering can affect confidence and classroom performance. We work with school-age children and teens to build clear, confident communication.
Adults
Voice problems, stuttering, apraxia, and communication difficulties don't stop at childhood. We provide adult therapy in a private, respectful setting — including alternative communication systems for those with significant speech impairments.
Stroke & Neurological Recovery
After a stroke, brain injury, or a diagnosis like Parkinson's or ALS, speaking and swallowing can change overnight. We provide aphasia, dysarthria, cognitive-language, and swallowing therapy to help rebuild those skills.

We accept Medicaid and Medicare, along with some major private insurance plans. We also offer a financial assistance program for qualifying families. Call us at 409-729-2227 and we'll verify your coverage and walk you through your options.
Cost depends on the services needed and your insurance coverage. As a nonprofit, we work to keep care affordable and offer reduced-cost services based on financial need. Give us a call and we'll go over the details with you directly.
Yes — a physician's referral is required before we can begin services. If you don't have one, call us at 409-729-2227 and we'll walk you through how to get it. Your primary care doctor, your child's pediatrician, or a specialist can all provide one.
Every client begins with a comprehensive assessment. Your speech-language pathologist will evaluate the areas of concern, identify what's going on, and recommend a treatment approach. If therapy is appropriate, we'll build goals specific to your needs and can often begin shortly after.
It depends on the communication needs we're addressing. Session length and frequency vary from person to person, and your speech-language pathologist will recommend what's appropriate after your evaluation. We'll go over the schedule with you before therapy begins.
Both. We serve clients ages three and up — from preschoolers with speech and language delays to adults recovering from a stroke or managing a swallowing disorder.
