Possible Venues

- At your childcare facility (Kita or kindergarten), school (in cooperation with the institution) or in Frankfurt Hausen
- In special circumstances at your home (travel fees apply)
Notes on Prices
The prices listed above are based on the current GebüTh (Gebührenübersicht für Therapeuten) and include an increase factor of 1.8. This factor follows the suggestions of the vdek (Verband der Ersatzkassen) and is commonly set between 1.8 and 2.3 for these services.
Furthermore, I would like to point out the following: I can only offer speech and language therapy as a private service (self-pay or privately insured patients). Firstly, I work as a freelance speech and language therapist without my own SLT practice. Secondly, it is legally prohibited to provide speech and language therapy services at a child care facility to patients covered by statutory health insurance. Treatment is only possible under very limited circumstances:
“Treatment of children and adolescents up to the age of 18, and, if necessary, beyond this age until completion of the school education, is exceptionally possible without prescribing a home visit outside of the practice, provided that the insured person attends a day care facility for the whole day and the treatment takes place in this facility. These may also be regular kindergartens (day care centres) or regular schools. The prerequisite for this is that the prescription of the therapeutic treatment indicates a particular severity and long-term nature of the functional or structural damage and the impairment of activities. This should generally be assumed where special educational needs have been officially established. § 6 (2) must not preclude this.” (Translation of the original German)
