At this time, we have providers who are in-network with the following insurances: BCBS, Medicare, McLaren (Medicaid), and Humana Military/Tricare East. Fun First Therapy began in August 2017 in an effort to bring consistent, quality speech and language services to rural locations of Northeast Michigan. We began as an in-home service to families, providing private therapy for the first year, and began contracting with school ISD's in 2018. In 2020, our company widened our network and began contracting with organizations and school districts across Michigan to provide speech and language services. We now offer in-person and virtual Speech-Language, Feeding, Occupational Therapy, and Social Work services to individuals, families, organizations, and school districts throughout the State of Michigan. We also create therapy resources and materials for therapists, teachers, and parents, which are available to purchase on our Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) storefront. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Fun-First-Therapy
