UTS: A VISION TO HELP

United Testing Service is the brainchild of Founder and Chairman Dr. Louis Fein. While directing the program in Speech Pathology at Miami Dade College, he opened a small private practice speech clinic in South Florida and began to work with private schools on early intervention programs. UTS was soon providing schools with guidance counselors, speech therapists and educational psychologists. With its highly qualified professionals and excellent customer service, the company was well received. As schools became aware of the scope of services that UTS could provide, the program soon expanded to more than a dozen cities around the country. Through UTS, schools can provide student services that were once considered unaffordable

A MOVE TO DO MORE

In 2008, UTS moved its headquarters to the state of Nevada. The company continues to expand its services. While still meeting the needs of individual schools, UTS now works with entire school districts and states. UTS provides all Title 1 Guidance Services in the Clark County School District: the fifth largest school district in the United States. The company provides SPED professionals to several large charter school organizations. UTS also has contracts with the Departments of Education to provide statewide EANS services in Florida, Texas, Nevada and Arizona. Most recently, the company was awarded a contract to provide tutoring services under Arizona’s statewide Achievement Tutoring Program.

OUR MISSION

As a private practitioner, Dr. Fein was only able to help one child at a time. Through United Testing Service, we are now able to impact the lives of thousands of children each day. United Testing Service and its entire staff take great pride in continuing to follow through on Dr. Fein’s vision.
