One practice, every stage

A therapy practice that stays with your family.

Families do not experience their child's development in neat brackets, and neither do we. Most of our clients are with us through more than one stage, one funding pathway, or one discipline. That continuity is the whole point.

  • Early
    Birth to 3 · AzEIP

    In-home early intervention when concerns show up first. Speech, occupational, and physical therapy, at no cost to qualifying families through AzEIP.

  • Preschool
    Ages 3 to 5 · DDD or Private

    The transition out of AzEIP is one of the moments parents tell us is hardest. We bridge it, in our offices, with the same team your child already trusts.

  • School-age
    Kindergarten and up · Any pathway

    Ongoing support through elementary, whether you are self-pay, on insurance, or working with DDD. We pair school-day goals with home-life fluency.

Three ways in, one practice

How families work with us.

Most families arrive through one of three pathways: early intervention through AzEIP, DDD support, or private pay, insurance, and ESA. Whichever got you here, the care is the same: experienced therapists, a real relationship, and clinical judgment that stays with your child as they grow.

Arizona Early Intervention Program

Early help, in your home.

AzEIP supports children birth to 3 who are showing signs of developmental delay. We provide these services as a member of Arizona Cooperative Therapies, the agency that holds the AzEIP contract for our region. Care happens in your home, in the routines your child already knows, and for qualifying families the program is at no cost.

  • Speech therapy for early communication and feeding
  • Occupational therapy for sensory, motor, and self-regulation
  • Physical therapy for gross motor and mobility
  • Coaching built around your real daily routines

DDD · Ages 3 and up

Steady support through DDD.

If your child qualifies for DDD, we are an approved provider. We see DDD clients in our Tempe and Peoria offices and, in some cases, at home or in community settings.

  • Speech, occupational, and physical therapy
  • Coordination with your support coordinator
  • Continuity after aging out of AzEIP

Private, Insurance & ESA

Care that fits your family.

For families paying privately, through insurance, or with an ESA, we offer the same clinical team without a referral hurdle. Good for families who want to start before a formal diagnosis, or who do not qualify for state programs.

  • In-office sessions in Tempe or Peoria
  • Self-pay and most major insurance accepted
  • ESA (Empowerment Scholarship Account) accepted, paid through ClassWallet
  • Evaluations available without a prior diagnosis

Who you work with

Run by clinicians, for Phoenix families.

Arizona Speech Pathology was founded in 1978 and transferred to Trish Nedberg in 1997, who still leads the practice today alongside co-owner Amanda Herrmann. Between them, they have watched two generations of Phoenix kids grow up, and have hired a team of speech-language pathologists, SLPAs, and now occupational and physical therapists who see practice the same way they do.

"We are not a chain. We are a practice that stays small enough to know your kid's name, and old enough to know what we are doing."

We are hiring across all three disciplines for our Tempe and Peoria offices, and for our growing AzEIP in-home team.
