Questions we hear most often

Trust your instincts — they're usually right. If your child isn't meeting communication or feeding milestones, if mealtimes are consistently stressful, or if your pediatrician has expressed any concern, that's enough reason to have a conversation. You don't need to know whether your child "qualifies" to call. We'll figure that out together.
Momma's Light serves children from birth through age 12. Early intervention is one of the most powerful things a family can do — the earlier we start, the better the outcomes.
We accept TRICARE and select private insurance plans. We also offer private-pay options. Before your first appointment, we'll walk you through exactly what your coverage looks like — so there are no surprises.

Yes. We understand military life because we live it. If you're navigating a PCS move, EFMP enrollment, or just trying to figure out your TRICARE coverage, we'll help you get clarity before the first appointment. Military families are especially welcome here.
Before your first session, you'll complete a short intake form so a licensed and certified Speech Language Pathologist can come prepared. The first appointment is a comprehensive evaluation — a thorough, play-based assessment of your child's communication, feeding, and/or physical development. You'll be in the room or nearby the whole time. Afterward, a licensed and certified Speech Language Pathologist will walk you through what she found and what she recommends next.
Every child is different, so there's no single answer — but we set honest, measurable goals and review progress regularly so you always know where things stand. Most families see meaningful progress within the first 8–12 weeks.
