The best time to start educational interventions is in first or second grade. However, many people fail to recognize their limitations for learning until much later. When we first started out we only serviced children in grades 2-4 who struggled with reading. Soon we figured out that our skills spanned a wide range of learning struggles and that the negative impact of being underprepared to learn spanned a lifetime. Now we service people ages 7 to adult, who want to overcome the challenges of their youth.

Educational therapy is intensive individualized interventions for clients with learning challenges that may be a result of neurological, cognitive, developmental, language executive and sensory delays. Educational therapists apply specialized training in how people learn and use strategies that teach to the student’s strengths while remediating the individual
weaknesses.

Tutors usually help students develop and practice school-based skills. Tutors generally have a background in education and are skilled in a specific subject matter.

Most students come twice a week or more. We generally like to start with more or longer sessions and then taper down as skills and patterns improve. Interventions tend to most effective at the onset. Consistency and the level of intensity is determined by the client and the goals. Older clients eventually meet with the therapist once a week or twice a month and do work on their own toward a specific goal.

Yes or No, depending on the type of assessment. A neuropsychological assessment completed within the last year can be very useful toward developing an intervention plan. Most clients come to us without a complete assessment so additional tests are helpful. During the initial consultation we will ask about any testing and interventions done previously. At that time we can discuss the timing, outcome, and relevance of the testing toward us developing a plan of action.

Yes, Instead of teaching programs we teach kids. Our instruction happens in way that makes sense to the the individual. When they have the background and the language to support learning, your child will be able to understand concepts and become more self-driven to learn. As they see their own success they develop natural desires to obtain success.

Yes! We are an approved provider. Those who have been awarded the Utah Fits All scholarship can use the funds to pay for our services.

MSA and FSA are savings accounts that can be used to pay for our services. Some account managers require that families pay first and then apply for reimbursement. We are working on a plan to allow payments directly from the account. Call to see where we are at with this.

Medical insurance plans do not cover educational therapy. In the past a diagnosis like dyslexia may have had some coverage but it is no longer part of the medical coding system. Some clients with brain trauma may be allowed a few sessions.

Yes, we offer online sessions. Fully online classes and sessions are available.  Many of our clients work with a hybrid model because there are advantages to both types of access. On-line sessions require clients to provide their computer with a keyboard and headphones with a built-in microphone.

Accreditation is for schools that give educational credits toward a degree. Since our services augment the typical school setting instead of replace it, accreditation is not applicable to our work.
