In the U.S.A., federal regulations [PL 94-142 Education of All Handicapped Children Act] mandated that any school district that accepts federal funds, which means virtually every district in the U.S.A., is required to seek out, diagnose, and provide services for handicapped children: The mandate is for "appropriate and free education for students with disabilities." Speech-language disability in among the services mandated. Those services, for children age 5 -21 who are enrolled in the schools, are available free.
The services are also available to children who attend religious parochial schools. Some school districts, New York City, for example, have speech therapy programs for "disadvantaged" children, beginning at age three. Some university training programs provide speech-language therapy for children who are in Head Start programs, and those services are also free. Possible sources of low cost speech therapy -- not free -- are training programs in universities that have a speech pathology curriculum. The hands-on clinical work would be done by a student, but the student would be supervised by a certified speech-language pathologist. P.S. I forgot to mention that PL 94-142 Education of All Handicapped Children Act has been amended and is now Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which covers handicapped children from birth to age 21. The Act is much broader than was the former act, and it does not mandate state participation for all of its regulations, but the final result is that you can find free speech-language services in the public schools.
