I am not credentialed with any insurance companies in Utah, so I accept private pay only at this time. I will set you up with an account via a secure client portal, where you will be asked to enter your credit card for ease of payment.By not involving an insurance company, all clinical decisions regarding your child’s treatment are based solely on my professional knowledge and skills, and your personal preference as a parent, without any 3rd party influence.

Providing a Superbill does not guarantee reimbursement.

The number of treatment sessions per week depends on your child's specific needs and goals. These recommendations will be provided after the initial evaluation. For most clients, 2-3 sessions per week is recommended. Frequency is very important to make progress and generalize skills to outside of the treatment setting.

Yes, Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP) are qualified to evaluate and diagnose dyslexia because dyslexia is a language-based disorder. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) specifically identifies SLPs as having a critical and direct role in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of written-language disorders, including dyslexia. One of the advantages of an SLP evaluation is that it can look at the relationship between oral language and written language. ASHA recognizes that spoken and written language are interconnected and that children can have difficulties across phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and other language domains. An SLP can determine whether a child's difficulties are primarily associated with a word-reading/encoding profile consistent with dyslexia, a broader receptive/expressive language disorder, a written expression disorder, or a combination of conditions.
