Support Services for
Private Schools
We collaborate with select private schools to offer support services that help students learn, grow, and succeed.
As a private school committed to providing families with the best possible learning opportunities and educational experiences, you may want to offer therapy services for students who need extra support.
Kids Can Do Children’s Therapy Center partners with local private schools to provide speech and occupational therapy to students.
Kids Can Do Private School Support

Speech therapy

Small Group Sessions
Kids Can Do can work with you to design small group sessions and other therapy services that are funded directly by your school. Small group sessions (like handwriting groups) can begin without a formal evaluation prescribed by a doctor, so your school can provide students with the support they need quickly.
Kids Can Do specialized therapists come to your school for individualized or small group therapy sessions before or during regular school hours. In-school sessions make therapy schedules convenient and accessible for families.
How it works
Private school support services
When a student is recognized as possibly needing support services, an evaluation is given (with parent approval). The child’s doctor typically prescribes evaluations. Evaluations include background information, observation, and testing. If the evaluation determines therapy service is needed, our therapists develop an individualized plan of care for the student. The plan includes regularly scheduled in-school therapy sessions, typically 30 minutes each week. The plan may also include home and classroom strategies and activities. Kids Can Do’s whole-child approach to therapy includes open communication and a supportive, collaborative relationship between the therapist, family, and school.
Cost of Private School Therapy Services
Parents are typically responsible for the cost of evaluation and therapy services. However, insurance often covers evaluations, speech, and occupational therapy when prescribed by a qualified medical professional. Kids Can Do will work with families to submit the required information to their insurance company of record. Kids Can Do offers direct payment plan options for families that will not be using insurance benefits.
Kids Can Do can also work with you to design custom support programs and therapy services funded directly by your school. School funded programs can be implemented quickly.
