Everything families ask us most — about Atlas, about dyslexia, and about insurance and cost. Still wondering something? Ask us on your free consultation call.
Tutoring can be wonderful for reinforcement and practice — the two simply do different jobs. A speech-language pathologist is a licensed clinician who can evaluate and treat the underlying language-processing skills that reading is built on. For a true processing difference like dyslexia, that clinical, root-cause approach is what creates lasting change. Think of us as a complement to good teaching, not a replacement for it.
Yes. All evaluations and therapy are provided in your home across Ooltewah and greater Chattanooga. No waiting rooms, no commute — your child works where they're most comfortable, which often means they do their best work.
We move quickly. In most cases we complete comprehensive testing and deliver a clear, written report identifying the root cause typically within 30 days — not the full school year that waiting often costs families.
From pre-kindergarten through the school years. If you're unsure whether your child is the right age or fit, mention it on your consultation call and we'll point you in the right direction.
For dyslexia intervention we suggest one to two 60-minute sessions per week — one full hour is recommended for this kind of work. For speech and language goals, shorter 30-minute sessions are often appropriate. We'll recommend a cadence based on your child's evaluation.
Often, yes. School evaluations serve educational eligibility — they're not the same as a clinical, root-cause diagnosis. We're happy to review what you have on your consultation call and tell you honestly whether more is needed.
We're an out-of-network provider. Many families are able to seek reimbursement, and we provide detailed superbills to make that straightforward. HSA and FSA funds are accepted, and you'll receive a Good Faith Estimate up front.
It's a 15-minute conversation with your clinician. You describe what you're seeing, we ask a few focused questions, and we tell you plainly whether an evaluation makes sense — even if the answer is that your child is doing just fine.
Dyslexia isn't about intelligence or effort — it's a difference in how the brain processes language. Here's what it tends to look like, and when.
Check every statement that rings true. This isn't a diagnosis — it's a starting point for a conversation.
As you recognize your child in these statements, we'll help you make sense of what you're seeing.
Talk to a clinician (15 min, free)"They're just lazy or not trying hard enough."
Dyslexic kids often work harder than their peers for less result. Effort was never the problem.
"They'll grow out of it if we wait."
Dyslexia is lifelong — but with the right intervention, kids become strong, confident readers. Earlier help means faster progress.
"It just means reading letters backwards."
It's a difference in processing the sounds of language — reversals are a small, sometimes absent, part of the picture.
"Dyslexia means a child isn't smart."
Dyslexia is unrelated to intelligence. Many dyslexic thinkers are exceptionally bright, creative problem-solvers.
Cost and coverage shouldn't be the reason a child waits. Here's how it works.
We're an out-of-network provider. Many families seek reimbursement, and we provide detailed superbills to make that straightforward.
