Speech + OT for school districts
School-based therapy support for districts that need reliable coverage.
TheraWIDE works with K–12 school teams seeking virtual speech-language pathology and occupational therapy support for staffing gaps, caseload pressure, and student service needs.
Your students.
A practical plan.
Designed around school realities
A therapy vacancy quickly becomes a student services problem.
District leaders are balancing service minutes, schedules, staff capacity, student needs, documentation, parent communication, and compliance responsibilities. TheraWIDE starts with the operational problem your team is trying to solve, then discusses whether virtual speech or occupational therapy support is an appropriate fit.
Vacancy & leave coverage
Discuss support when a district is recruiting, covering a leave, or working through a hard-to-fill therapy position.
Caseload overflow
Explore supplemental support when current clinicians need additional capacity for part of a caseload or service schedule.
Planned district support
Plan ahead for the next semester or school year when you expect changes in staffing, enrollment, or related-service demand.
What districts can discuss
Speech-language and occupational therapy services aligned to your district’s needs.
Every district request is different. A first conversation can cover discipline, grade levels, approximate caseload, current staffing, preferred schedule, state, technology, timeline, and how your team manages student plans and documentation.
- School-based speech-language therapy services
- School-based occupational therapy services
- Full or supplemental caseload discussions
- Coordination with school staff and established district procedures
- Virtual therapy options when appropriate for the student and service plan
Important: availability and scope depend on staffing, licensure, student needs, scheduling, technology, and the final agreement with the district.
How a district conversation starts
Four clear steps from need to next action.
Describe the gap
Tell us the district, state, therapy discipline, approximate student or caseload need, and target timeframe.
Review fit
We discuss the service need, scheduling realities, virtual delivery, clinician licensure, and the way your school team operates.
Define scope
If there is a potential fit, the district and TheraWIDE can define the requested coverage, expectations, workflow, and commercial terms.
Prepare to launch
Once contracted, onboarding and service preparation can follow the agreed district process and implementation plan.
