Sandstone Psychology receives partial Rural County Grant reallocation for evaluations
Summary
The board approved $1,850 for Sandstone Psychology to fund non‑consumable neuropsychological evaluation kits after the applicant changed its ask from a neurofeedback machine to broader evaluations accepted by about 95% of insurers; most consumables were deemed outside grant guidelines.
Carbon County’s CED Board approved a partial reallocation to Sandstone Psychology, awarding $1,850 to cover non‑consumable elements of a proposed shift from a neurofeedback machine to neuropsychological evaluation kits. Jeff Robison joined the meeting to explain that provider and citizen feedback shifted the practice’s needs toward evaluation kits that are accepted by about 95% of insurers.
Board members expressed concern that many requested items were consumables and therefore outside the grant’s allowable expenses. The board approved the partial funding (mover: Jon Richens; second: Oran Stainbrook). Staff noted that $13,150 resulting from the Sandstone Psychology adjustment will carry over into the next year’s grant pool.
