Teletherapy is speech and language therapy delivered through secure online video sessions. You join from your own device, and sessions are interactive, personalized, and structured just like in-person therapy.

Accent training provided by Avanza Communication, PLLC is a communication-focused, non-medical service designed to support individuals who wish to develop communication patterns associated with General American English (GAE) or improve aspects of their spoken communication.

Accent training is not medical treatment and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure a medical condition, speech-language disorder, voice disorder, or other health condition. Services may focus on areas such as pronunciation, speech patterns, intonation, rhythm, stress, and other aspects of spoken communication.

Participation in accent training does not imply that an individual's natural accent is a problem or requires correction. The goal is to support the individual's personal communication preferences and goals, including developing greater flexibility in how they communicate across different settings.

Accent training services are separate from medically necessary speech-language pathology services and are provided on a private-pay basis. Insurance billing is not available for accent training services.

If an individual presents with concerns that may require evaluation or treatment of a speech, language, voice, or other communication disorder, a separate speech-language evaluation may be recommended to determine whether clinical services are appropriate.

Avanza Communication works with children and adults seeking speech, language, and voice support, as well as adults interested in accent training.

No special equipment is required. A computer, tablet, or phone with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, and a quiet space are all you need. Headphones can help with focus.

The best place to start is with a free 15-minute consultation. You can discuss your goals and ask questions so you can better understand which service may be appropriate for you.

Start by booking a free 15-minute consultation. We will talk about your goals, answer your questions, and decide together whether to move forward.

It is a relaxed conversation. You share what you or your child would like to work on, ask any questions about teletherapy, and get a clear sense of what working together would look like.

Due to licensing requirements, you will need to be located in Texas for each session and evaluation.

Yes. Teletherapy allows you to participate from a convenient and comfortable location with the appropriate technology and internet connection.

Avanza Communication, PLLC is a private-pay only. We do not participate with or bill health insurance plans. Payment for services is the responsibility of the client or their responsible party at the time of service.

Upon request, we can provide a superbill containing the information needed to submit a claim to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. 

Treatment and evaluation can be conducted in English and/or Spanish, depending on your or your child's needs. If you are unsure of which language or if a combination of both languages is best for your child, it can be discussed in the initial consultation or throughout therapy.

Well, that depends on many factors, such as complexity, motivation, and carryover. Therapy can last a few months or be a lifelong process. At Avanza, we typically like to do a re-evaluation every 6 months to a year depending on progress and assess any growth.

At Avanza, we offer 6- and 12-week programs for 1 session a week.
