Speech therapy

Speech therapy (Talþjálfun) is paid by the Icelandic Health Insurance (Sjúkratryggingar Íslands) in cases where a client meets the required criteria.

Before therapy begins, a doctor's request for speech therapy must be made. This request shall be delivered to a speech therapist who is in charge of submitting the request to the Icelandic Health Insurance. If a request is approved, the person who is insured will receive 15 sessions of speech therapy in each 12-month period.
