Meet Your Therapist

Amanda Smith, M.Ed., CCC-SLP

Amanda Smith is the owner and sole clinician at Lasting Language Therapy Services — a deliberate choice. She believes that effective speech therapy depends on a deep, continuous therapeutic relationship, not revolving-door staffing. Every patient is seen by Amanda directly, from the initial evaluation through the final session.

Amanda holds a Master of Education in Communication Sciences and Disorders and has earned the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association — the gold standard credential in the field. She is licensed by the state of Georgia and maintains active membership in ASHA, participating in ongoing continuing education to stay current with best practices in the field.

"I started Lasting Language because I wanted to build a practice where every client gets the depth of attention they deserve. Communication is at the heart of everything we do — relationships, confidence, career, learning. When it's hard, everything else is harder. My job is to make it easier."

— Amanda Smith, M.Ed., CCC-SLP

Amanda's clinical background spans pediatric and adult populations. Her areas of particular expertise include orofacial myofunctional therapy, where she collaborates closely with orthodontists and dental professionals throughout the Atlanta metro area; articulation and phonological disorders in children; early language development; and voice and speech treatment for adults with Parkinson's disease using the LSVT LOUD protocol.

At Lasting Language, you'll find a practice that is warm, unhurried, and deeply invested in your progress. Sessions are never rushed. Treatment plans are revisited regularly. Families are included in the process when appropriate. And parents of pediatric patients are always welcome to sit in on sessions and receive home program coaching so that progress continues between appointments.

M.Ed., Communication Sciences & Disorders

Graduate-level academic preparation in the science of human communication and its disorders.

Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP)

ASHA's highest professional credential, requiring graduate education, clinical hours, and national exam passage.

Georgia State License

Licensed by the Georgia State Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology.

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

Advanced post-graduate training in orofacial myology, beyond standard SLP scope-of-practice preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to Know Before Your First Visit

Everything you need to know before reaching out — answered clearly.

Do I need a referral to see a speech therapist in Sandy Springs? +

No referral is required to schedule an appointment at Lasting Language Therapy Services. You are welcome to contact us directly to book a free consultation or schedule a full evaluation. That said, many patients do come to us with a referral from their pediatrician, orthodontist, ENT physician, sleep specialist, or neurologist, and we are happy to work closely with your referring provider throughout the course of treatment. If a physician has recommended speech or myofunctional therapy, we'll communicate back with them regarding your progress and treatment goals — with your written consent.

Do you offer teletherapy for speech therapy? +

Yes — Lasting Language Therapy Services offers secure, HIPAA-compliant video teletherapy for many of our services, including speech therapy for children and adults, myofunctional therapy, and follow-up consultations. Teletherapy sessions are conducted through a private video platform and are just as effective as in-person sessions for most patients and conditions. We provide teletherapy for patients throughout the state of Georgia, making high-quality speech care accessible even if you live farther from our Sandy Springs office or have a schedule that makes in-person visits difficult.

What insurance does Lasting Language Therapy accept? +

Lasting Language Therapy Services operates as an out-of-network provider with most major insurance plans. We accept payment directly and provide detailed superbills that include all the diagnostic and procedural codes your insurance company needs to process an out-of-network reimbursement claim. Many patients with PPO-type plans receive meaningful out-of-network reimbursement after meeting their deductible. We also accept Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) payment. We strongly recommend calling the member services number on the back of your insurance card before your first appointment to ask specifically about your out-of-network speech therapy benefits and your applicable deductible and reimbursement rate.

How do I get started with speech therapy at your Sandy Springs office? +

Getting started is simple. You can reach us by phone at 470-851-4988, by email at amanda@lastinglanguage.net, or by submitting an intake inquiry through our contact page at lastinglanguage.net/contact. We'll begin with a brief phone conversation to hear your concerns, answer your questions, and determine whether a full evaluation or a free introductory consultation makes the most sense as a first step. Most new patient evaluations are scheduled within 1–2 weeks of first contact. For patients coming through orthodontic or medical referral, we ask that the referring provider send over any relevant records prior to the first appointment so Amanda can review the full clinical picture before you arrive.
