Why families choose us

This is not traditional speech therapy

Most clinics and schools assign one therapist to several children and hand you a progress report one to four times a year. We built TruePotential to be the opposite.

Two clinicians, one child

Every speech session pairs a licensed speech-language pathologist with a trained assistant — focused entirely on your child. Personalized attention isn’t a promise here; it’s the staffing model.

Built for the tough cases

Nonverbal children, autism, complex profiles, families told to “wait and see.” These are the cases our practice was built around — not the exceptions.

The TC curriculum

Sessions follow the TherapyConnectData (TC) curriculum, built from 24 years of real clinical practice: structured, measurable, and evidence-based.

Parents see progress live

With the TherapyConnectData app, you follow your child’s goals and every data point from your phone — session by session, not report by report.

Speech Therapy

Evaluation and individualized intervention for speech and language — including late talkers, nonverbal children, autism, and complex communication needs.

  • 2-to-1 sessions: a licensed SLP plus a trained assistant, dedicated to one child
  • TC curriculum: structured goals built from 24 years of clinical practice
  • Parent tools: follow progress live in the TherapyConnectData app
  • In English or Spanish, at our Tucson clinic
Payment: Speech therapy is private pay (cash) only. We do not bill or work with insurance companies — which is exactly what lets us keep sessions 2-to-1 and expert-led.

Educational Therapy

One-on-one, therapy-informed academic intervention for children who need more than tutoring — reading, writing, math, attention and learning skills, taught the way your child learns.

  • Individualized learning plans based on a real assessment, not a workbook
  • Support for learning differences, attention challenges, and school struggles
  • Coordinated with our speech team when a child needs both
  • Measurable goals with progress parents can actually see
Payment: Educational therapy can be paid through Arizona’s Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA), a program of the Arizona Department of Education. How it works: the state education funds assigned to your child follow them — families apply through the Department’s ESA portal and can spend the funds on approved services like educational therapy and tutoring. We’ll help you use your child’s account. Private pay is also welcome.
Adults with autism

Recognized as an adult? It’s not too late.

More teenagers and adults than ever are being recognized as autistic — many after years of “almost fitting in.” Recognition is a starting point, not a verdict: at any age, an intervention plan can still be designed around the goals that matter to you, and its efficacy can be measured and shown whenever you need it.

Recognized now, not “missed forever”

Late identification is common — especially for adults who learned to mask. Understanding why things have been hard is the first practical step, not the last.

Intervention plans at any age

Work, independent living, relationships, communication, energy — a plan is built around your goals, one-on-one, online, in English or Spanish.

Efficacy you can show

Measurable goals and progress data — so you (or your employer, school, or family) can see what is working, whenever it needs to be shown.

Common questions

Questions families ask us

Do you accept insurance for speech therapy?

No. Speech therapy at TruePotential is private pay (cash) only — we do not bill or work with insurance companies. That model is what allows every session to be 2-to-1: a licensed speech-language pathologist plus a trained assistant dedicated to one child.

Can I pay for educational therapy with Arizona ESA funds?

Yes. Educational therapy can be paid with Arizona ESA (Empowerment Scholarship Account) funds, and we help families use their child’s account. Private pay is also welcome.

Do you work with nonverbal children?

Yes. Nonverbal children and complex cases are the core of our practice, not the exception. Our clinical team works every day with autism, language delays, and complex communication challenges.

Do you offer services in Spanish?

Yes. TruePotential is a bilingual practice — evaluations and therapy are available in English or Spanish at our Tucson clinic on Country Club Rd.

How can parents follow their child’s progress?

Every family gets access to the TherapyConnectData app, where you follow your child’s goals and every data point from your phone — session by session, not report by report.
