Speech Therapy for Fort Collins Children, Teens & Young Adults
If you're searching for a speech therapist near Fort Collins, Colorado for your child, teen, or young adult (ages birth through 21), Front Range Speech Therapy offers the specialized, evidence-based care they deserve. Located in Greeley—just a quick 25-minute drive east on US-34—our clinic serves families from across Fort Collins, the CSU area, Larimer County, and the entire Northern Colorado Front Range.
Many Fort Collins parents discover that while their community has excellent general healthcare, finding a speech-language pathologist with deep expertise in complex pediatric speech conditions can be challenging. That's where Front Range Speech fills a critical gap. Our clinicians hold advanced certifications and specialized training in areas like childhood apraxia of speech, PROMPT therapy, cochlear implant rehabilitation, and augmentative communication—the kind of focused expertise that produces measurable results for children with complex speech and language needs.
Why Fort Collins Families Choose Front Range Speech
Families from Old Town Fort Collins, the Harmony Road corridor, Timnath, and neighborhoods throughout Larimer County make the short drive to our Greeley clinic for one reason: specialized results. Whether your child attends a Poudre School District elementary school, a CSU area preschool, or a private program in Fort Collins, our therapists bring a level of motor speech and hearing loss expertise that is difficult to find in a general pediatric therapy setting.
We understand that choosing to drive outside Fort Collins for therapy is a commitment. That's why we make every session count. Our treatment plans are built on current research, delivered with high intensity when appropriate, and tracked with session-by-session data so you can see your child's progress clearly. We also provide structured home practice programs and caregiver training so that the work continues between visits.
Parents from Fort Collins consistently tell us that the 25-minute drive is a small trade-off for the specialized attention and clinical outcomes their children experience at Front Range Speech.
Speech Therapy Services Available to Fort Collins Families
Front Range Speech provides comprehensive pediatric speech-language pathology services. Every service we offer is available to families traveling from Fort Collins and the surrounding Larimer County communities. Our areas of specialization include:
Our most sought-after service among Fort Collins families is motor speech disorder therapy, particularly for children diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). CAS requires intensive, specialized intervention using evidence-based protocols like Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC), PROMPT, and Rapid Syllable Transition Treatment (ReST). These approaches demand advanced clinician training that goes well beyond standard speech therapy coursework, and our team has invested extensively in mastering them.
For families in the CSU area and throughout Fort Collins whose children use hearing aids, cochlear implants, or bone-anchored hearing devices, our pediatric hearing loss program provides auditory-verbal therapy and listening skills development tailored to each child's device and hearing profile. We coordinate closely with audiologists at UCHealth and other Northern Colorado providers to ensure seamless care.
The Easy Drive from Fort Collins to Our Greeley Clinic
Our clinic at 4645 18th Street in Greeley is a straightforward 25-minute drive from Fort Collins. Most families take US-34 East directly from I-25, a simple route with minimal traffic outside of peak commute times. Families coming from south Fort Collins and the Harmony Road corridor often find the drive even shorter.
The route passes through open Colorado landscape with mountain views—a far more pleasant commute than navigating congested urban traffic. Many parents use the drive time for audiobooks or quiet conversation with their child, and some families combine therapy appointments with errands in the Greeley area.
For families who prefer to minimize travel, we also offer teletherapy for services where remote delivery is clinically appropriate. This hybrid approach lets Fort Collins families access our specialized expertise with maximum flexibility.
Insurance and Getting Started
We understand that navigating insurance for speech therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when choosing an out-of-area provider. Front Range Speech works with most major insurance plans accepted throughout Larimer County and Northern Colorado. Our team handles benefits verification, prior authorization when required, and ongoing documentation to support continued coverage.
Many Fort Collins families are pleased to learn that their insurance plans cover speech therapy at our Greeley clinic with the same in-network benefits they would receive at a Fort Collins location. Colorado law also provides strong protections for children needing speech therapy services, and we help families understand and exercise those rights.
Coordinating with Poudre School District
Many of our Fort Collins patients also receive speech-language services through Poudre School District. School-based therapy and private therapy serve complementary roles: school services focus on educational access, while private therapy can target the underlying motor, sensory, or linguistic deficits with greater intensity and specialization.
We regularly collaborate with PSD speech-language pathologists, special education coordinators, and classroom teachers to align goals and strategies across settings. If your child has an IEP or 504 plan through Poudre School District, we can review those documents and ensure our private therapy plan complements and reinforces the work happening at school. This coordinated approach gives Fort Collins children the most comprehensive support possible.
What Sets Our Approach Apart
Fort Collins families choose Front Range Speech because we combine clinical specialization with a family-centered philosophy. Every aspect of our practice is designed to deliver the best possible outcomes for your child.

Common questions from Fort Collins families about our services
Our clinic in Greeley is approximately 25 minutes from central Fort Collins via US-34 East or I-25 South to US-34. Whether you're coming from Old Town Fort Collins, the Harmony Road corridor, or the CSU area, the drive is straightforward with easy highway access. Many Fort Collins families find the short commute well worth it for the specialized care their child receives.
Absolutely. We work with many families whose children attend Poudre School District (PSD) schools throughout Fort Collins and Larimer County. While PSD provides school-based speech services, many families seek private therapy to supplement those services or to access specialized treatment approaches—such as DTTC or PROMPT for childhood apraxia of speech—that may not be available within the school setting. We coordinate with PSD speech-language pathologists and special education teams to ensure consistent goals across settings.
We offer the full range of specialized speech therapy services to Fort Collins families. These include motor speech disorder therapy (childhood apraxia of speech, dysarthria), speech sound disorder treatment (articulation, phonological disorders, /r/ and /s/ therapy), pediatric hearing loss therapy (cochlear implants, hearing aids), AAC device evaluation and therapy, social-pragmatic language intervention, receptive and expressive language therapy, and cognitive-linguistic skills development. Each service is delivered by a specialist with advanced training in that area.
Yes, we offer teletherapy as an option for Fort Collins families when clinically appropriate. Teletherapy can be an excellent choice for language-based therapy, social-pragmatic intervention, AAC programming support, and follow-up sessions. However, some services—particularly motor speech therapy using tactile cueing approaches like PROMPT—are most effective in person. During your initial consultation, we'll discuss which service delivery model best fits your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Front Range Speech offers a level of specialization that sets us apart from general pediatric speech therapy clinics. Our clinicians hold advanced training in motor speech disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, PROMPT therapy, and pediatric hearing loss—areas that require expertise beyond a standard speech therapy background. Families from Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, and across Larimer County choose to make the short drive to our Greeley clinic because they want a therapist with deep, focused experience in their child's specific diagnosis rather than a generalist approach.
