About Us
As a mother whose child has spent nearly a decade in speech therapy, I've learned to measure time differently. Not just in school years or milestones, but—like a verse from Seasons of Love—in "speech therapy waitlist cycles". In service inquiry calls that echo without reply. In PWNs from the school district missing sessions. In the quiet ache of seeing tantrums fill the space where words should be—words that could have blossomed earlier if therapy hadn't been delayed.
OnLark Therapy was born from that lived experience: the frustration, the resilience, and the unwavering belief that every child's voice matters today.
Our mission is simple and urgent: to make quality speech therapy affordable, accessible, and available with zero waitlist.
We believe families shouldn't be stuck on waitlists while critical developmental windows pass by. Even after they get off the waitlist, it may take years of therapy sessions for a child to make meaningful progress, and it's unfair for parents to go through this ordeal alone. We are your trusted companion in the long run, because you deserve hope, joy, and someone who never stops believing in you.
At OnLark Therapy, we measure our success by how much we can help your child - in moments of breakthrough, in confidence gained, and in voice that finally gets to be heard.
Let's Talk.
The Crisis
Hidden Costs
Families don't know what therapy actually costs until after the first session. Insurance "coverage" doesn't mean affordable.
Administrative Burden
SLPs spend 40% of their time on paperwork, billing, and insurance claims instead of treating patients.
Access Barriers
Families in rural areas or with scheduling constraints can't access care. Waitlists stretch 3-6 months.
How OnLark Solves This
We've rebuilt speech therapy delivery from the ground up, addressing each core problem.
Know Your Costs Upfront
Every therapist displays their exact rate. We verify your insurance coverage before your first session and show you the real cost—copay, coinsurance, and all.
- ✓Real-time eligibility verification (270/271 EDI)
- ✓State-by-state Medicaid rate transparency
- ✓Budget matching: find therapists within your range
Automate the Busywork
We handle insurance verification, claims submission, prior authorizations, and documentation. SLPs focus on therapy, not paperwork.
- ✓AI-assisted clinical documentation (AWS HealthScribe)
- ✓Automated claims submission (837P EDI)
- ✓NCCI edits validation and CPT coding assistance
- ✓Credentialing automation via Verifiable API
Therapy Where You Are
HIPAA-compliant telehealth means no commutes, no waiting rooms, and therapy integrated into daily routines. Parents see exactly how to practice between sessions.
- ✓Daily.co secure video (HIPAA-compliant)
- ✓Session recordings for parent review (encrypted S3)
- ✓Home practice plans delivered via secure messaging
- ✓Available evenings & weekends, not just 9-5
Our Approach
OnLark is a technology platform that connects patients with independent, licensed speech-language pathologists. We don't employ therapists—we empower them.
Each SLP on OnLark bills under their own NPI and maintains full clinical autonomy. We provide the infrastructure: credentialing automation, insurance verification, telehealth, documentation, and billing. They provide expert care.
This model means therapists earn more per session (we charge 15% vs. 40-60% at traditional practices) while patients pay less (no facility overhead, lower rates). Everyone wins except administrative bloat.
By The Numbers
