The path to us, and what speech therapy actually means.
How to get a prescription
Your doctor determines the need for treatment and issues a prescription for speech therapy accordingly. We treat both statutorily and privately insured patients and, if needed, also carry out home visits.
Who can issue a prescription?
- General practitioners
- Paediatricians
- ENT specialists
- Specialists in speech, voice and hearing disorders
- Internal medicine specialists
- Neurologists
- Dentists and orthodontists
Who covers the costs?
Statutorily insured patients: Children and teenagers under 18, as well as exempt patients, pay no co-payment. Adults aged 18 and over pay a 10% share of the prescription value.
Privately insured patients: Your doctor issues a private prescription. Private health insurers usually cover the costs, depending on your tariff — on request, we're happy to prepare a cost estimate in advance.

Learn more →What actually is speech therapy?
Speech-language pathology is a young medical-therapeutic discipline and has been a legally protected professional title in Germany since 1980. The German term „Logopädie" combines the Greek words logos (word) and paideuein (to educate) — roughly translated: speech education. The international professional title is Speech and Language Therapist/Pathologist.
Speech and language therapists treat voice, speech, language and swallowing disorders and work in an interdisciplinary way with GPs and paediatricians as well as neurologists, psychologists, phoniatricians and ENT doctors. Speech therapy also always aims for interdisciplinary work with educators and parents, as well as the client's private environment.
