Speech Therapy for Evans, CO Families (Greeley-Evans District 6)
Evans is minutes from our Greeley clinic. Here is how District 6 families combine school speech services with private pediatric therapy.
Direct answer: Evans families do not need a separate Evans clinic to get specialty pediatric speech therapy. Front Range Speech Therapy is a short drive north in Greeley, and we regularly see children who attend Greeley-Evans School District 6. Private therapy can add intensity and specialty methods that school caseloads are not always built to provide.
Evans is in the Greeley clinic radius
Evans sits immediately south of Greeley. For most neighborhoods, the trip to 4645 18th St is closer to a local errand than a “Northern Colorado road trip.” That matters if your child needs consistent weekly sessions for childhood apraxia, stuttering, hearing technology, or AAC.

District 6 speech vs. private SLP
School speech-language services exist to help a child access the educational curriculum. Private outpatient therapy exists to treat the communication disorder with enough frequency and specialty depth. Many Evans families use both: IEP minutes at school, plus private sessions for motor speech, fluency, device programming, or literacy.
- School services are eligibility-based. Private therapy can start from a parent-initiated evaluation.
- School SLPs carry large caseloads. Private sessions are typically one-to-one and diagnosis-specific.
- We can align goals with District 6 when you ask us to collaborate. We are not employed by the district.
When Evans parents usually call
Common reasons: a preschooler who is hard to understand, a school-age child with an IEP who is still not progressing, stuttering that is getting tenser, a child with a cochlear implant who needs listening and spoken language work, or a teen who still cannot produce /r/ or keep up with classroom language.
Can my Evans child start private therapy if they already have school speech?
Yes. Private therapy is not a replacement for an IEP unless you choose to change school services. Many families keep both. Tell us what the school is already targeting so we do not duplicate busywork.
Do you take District 6 families from west Evans and Garden City?
Yes. If you are within about 20 miles of the Greeley clinic, you are in the in-person service area. Call (720) 798-6930 if you are unsure about the drive.
