Frequently Asked Questions

What ages do you see?

Neuroaffirming care recognizes neurodiversity as a natural part of human variation. Therapy focuses on supporting communication, self-advocacy, and quality of life—without trying to “fix,” mask, or change who someone is.

My child sees a speech pathologist at school, can we see you too?

Yes! Speech and language in the academic setting can be very different than private practice. Speech and language services in the schools are aimed at providing services to aid in the academic impact of communication disorders. Private speech therapy can address a broader range of speech and language concerns, including those that are unrelated to academics.

What payment types do you accept?

Currently, I am accepting Minnesota MA (Medical Assistance), BlueCross Blue Shield, Medica, and Medicare. I am working at adding more insurance companies to this list and will update when this changes!

I also am accepting private pay. This includes all major debit/credit cards, HSA, and HFA cards.

I will provide a superbill, to any client upon request, in order for you to submit it for possible reimbursement to your insurance company. Please check with your health insurance regarding superbills, speech and language benefits, out of network coverage, teletherapy, etc.

I would like to know more, now what?

Please send me an email at info@ascentslt.com, or use the "send message button" below, to schedule a free consult. During this 15 minute consult we will discuss your concerns, case history, communication goals, and develop a plan personalized just for you or your loved one.

What does “neuroaffirming” mean?

Birth through all steps of life!

Do you use AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)?

Yes. Our practice specializes in AAC and views it as a valuable and empowering option for many clients. Because every individual is different, AAC options can vary. If this is something you’re interested in exploring, we can talk more about it!
