Therapy Services for
Private School Families
Children may need extra support beyond the classroom to help them learn, grow, and succeed.
Sending your child to a private school is an important decision. Private schools can offer students many experiences and advantages with positive returns.
Kids Can Do Children’s Therapy Center partners with select local private schools to offer in-school speech and occupational therapy to students who may benefit from these services.

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.
Private School Therapy Cost
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.
