Speech & Dyslexia Therapy for Children of All Ages
Serving the Sioux Falls area in-person and providing statewide virtual therapy for families throughout South Dakota and Minnesota.
Welcome to Schneider Family Services
Nourishing Minds, Growing Futures
Navigating speech or language delays, dyslexia, or the complexities of the special education system can feel overwhelming. At Schneider Family Services in Sioux Falls, I believe you shouldn't have to be the expert—you just get to be the parent.
I provide neurodiversity-affirming speech, language, and literacy therapy designed to help your child thrive on their own terms. But my support doesn't end when the session is over. I am your dedicated advocate, walking into IEP meetings with you and simplifying school results so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Your child has a voice. I’m here to help the world hear it.
Speech & Language Therapy
Helping your child find their voice and the confidence to use it.
Communication is about more than just words—it’s about connection. I provide neurodiversity-affirming therapy tailored to your child’s unique strengths.
Dyslexia Evaluations & Therapy
Get answers in weeks, not months.
Stop the cycle of "wait and see." While many clinics have year-long waitlists, I prioritize getting your child the answers they need now so they don’t fall further behind.
Parent Coaching & Advocacy
You don’t have to navigate the school system alone.
I believe you shouldn’t have to be the expert—you just get to be the parent. I bridge the gap between our clinic and your child's classroom to ensure they are supported everywhere they go.
Meet Your Speech Therapist
Jess Schneider, SLPD, CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
As a parent, you shouldn’t have to choose between high-quality therapy and your family’s busy schedule. I founded this practice because I saw too many families struggling to find specialized care that actually fits their lives.
I bring a doctorate-level perspective and Orton-Gillingham training to every session, but more importantly, I bring a commitment to your family. I’m here to remove the hurdles—whether that’s providing therapy that works for your schedule or standing by your side in an IEP meeting.
My mission is simple: To give your child the tools to thrive and to give you the confidence that they are exactly where they need to be.
“Play is our brain's favorite way of learning.”

Ready to get started with speech therapy at Schneider Family Services?
Step One: Consultation
Begin with a Free Consultation:
We will discuss your concerns, answer your questions, and determine if an evaluation is the right next step for your child.
We can schedule your first appointment during this call.
Step TWO: Evaluation
A comprehensive evaluation helps us pinpoint your child’s strengths and areas where they need help.
You will receive a detailed report with all results and clear recommendations on the next steps, so you can decide if therapy services are right for your family.
Step THREE: Treatment
We work together to create a personalized treatment plan based on your child's specific strengths and challenges. We also work together to include specific goals you have for your child as the caregiver. Therapy sessions will then begin, in person or online, focusing on these specific skills, and we will create a simple home program to maximize progress between appointments.
Insurance & Billing
I am currently an in-network provider with Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, South Dakota Medicaid, and Avera, with Sanford Health Plan credentialing currently in progress. For those without these plans or who prefer a direct approach, I offer a private-pay model that ensures transparent pricing, highly customized treatment, and dedicated 1:1 quality care without the hassle of surprise deductibles. "Superbills" are available upon request for potential out-of-network reimbursement; please contact me to discuss how we can begin your care today.
