Why Choose BSPS
Expertise you can't find anywhere else in Kansas City.
Why do families choose BSPS? It's simple: we combine specialized expertise with genuine compassion. When you choose us, you're choosing therapists who are experts in their field, teachers of other clinicians, and advocates for your family.
Led by a nationally recognized expert
Mary Billings, MS, CCC-SLP, COM® presents at national conferences including ASHA and IAOM, teaches continuing education to SLPs nationwide, and mentors clinicians across the country. No other local practice has a founder who teaches at the national level — and that expertise shapes every treatment plan here.
Certified Orofacial Myologists® on staff
The Certified Orofacial Myologist® credential from the International Association of Orofacial Myology requires advanced training far beyond the standard SLP curriculum — and our COM-certified clinicians are among a select group in the Kansas City area. It's why dentists, orthodontists, and ENTs across the metro refer their tongue thrust, mouth breathing, and airway cases to us.
Integrated care under one roof
Speech, feeding, orofacial myofunctional, and literacy therapy in a single practice. These conditions are deeply connected — and treating them together means coordinated care, no referral bounce, and faster, more lasting results.
Every session is 1:1
No group therapy. No rotating clinicians. Your child works with the same therapist every visit, following a personalized plan with measurable goals. Schools and hospitals often can't offer that — it's why families see faster progress here.
An honest comparison
How we compare to your other options
Every option has its place. Here's where we fit — honestly.
vs. Hospital outpatient clinics
While hospital clinics offer breadth, BSPS offers depth. We specialize in the conditions hospitals refer out — in a warm, family-centered environment designed for therapy, not clinical procedures.
vs. School-based services
School services provide essential support, but limited frequency and group settings can slow progress. BSPS offers intensive, 1:1 therapy that accelerates outcomes.
vs. General private practices
Many practices offer speech therapy. BSPS offers specialized expertise in orofacial myofunctional disorders, feeding therapy, and complex cases general practices often can't address.
vs. Teletherapy-only providers
We offer teletherapy for convenience — but many conditions require hands-on assessment. BSPS provides the in-person expertise complex cases demand, with teletherapy as a complement.
