Cabdivin — Speech Therapy Software in Saint-Étienne

Speech Therapy in Saint-Étienne

Saint-Étienne, the second city of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes after Lyon, counts about 130 private speech therapists for nearly 380,000 inhabitants in the metro area, with a practitioner density lower than Lyon or Grenoble. The CHU de Saint-Étienne (Nord and Bellevue hospitals) and the Lucien Neuwirth Cancer Institute (ICLN), the reference cancer centre for the Loire department, regularly refer patients for post-surgical rehabilitation: swallowing disorders after head-and-neck surgery, voice rehabilitation after laryngectomy, and post-stroke aphasia care via the hospital's neurovascular unit. The Saint-Étienne socio-economic fabric, shaped by industrial reconversion, makes third-party payment management for CSS patients a daily concern; Cabdivin automates electronic transmission, rejection tracking and reminders. The city has no university speech therapy training centre, so most practitioners graduate from Lyon, Clermont-Ferrand or Grenoble before setting up in the Loire, often drawn by lower professional rents. Cabdivin supports these new practices with guided NGAP setup and accessible pricing (a permanently free plan, a Complet plan quoted per practice, and 50% off the first year for students).
