At this time, Pacific Pathways Speech Therapy is in-network with Kaiser Permanente. We also accept private-pay clients. For families with other insurance providers, we are considered an out-of-network provider. Upon request, we can provide a superbill as a statement of your services so you may submit it to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We recommend checking your out-of-network benefits with your insurance company prior to starting services.

Neurodiversity-affirming care is an approach that recognizes differences such as autism, ADHD, and other learning or communication styles as natural variations of the human brain—not problems to be “fixed.” In our practice, this means we focus on each child’s strengths, honor their unique communication style (whether spoken, nonverbal, or using AAC), and set goals that are meaningful to them and their families. We avoid harmful or compliance-based practices, and instead support your child in building skills that help them thrive as their authentic self.
