Quick facts

What SoundEd Therapy does

School districts contract with SoundEd Therapy when a related-services position sits open and no local clinician is available. SoundEd matches a credentialed clinician who is licensed in the state where the student lives, schedules sessions around instruction so students do not miss regular class, delivers the services written into the student’s IEP, and documents progress. The district keeps its oversight and its relationships with students and families. Sessions continue whether a student is learning at home or in the building. Spanish-speaking support is available in select disciplines, and AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) support is available for nonverbal and limited-verbal students.

Services

Speech and language therapy

Delivered by ASHA-certified speech-language pathologists and SLPAs licensed in the student’s state. Covers articulation, receptive and expressive language, social language, fluency, and AAC.

Occupational therapy

Delivered by state-licensed occupational therapists and certified occupational therapy assistants (COTAs). Covers fine motor and handwriting, sensory and self-care skills, attention and participation, and the adaptations and modifications that remove barriers in the classroom.

Physical therapy

Delivered by state-licensed physical therapists. Supports physical development and access to the same academic and social opportunities as peers, coordinated with the IEP and medical team.

School counseling and school social work

Delivered by state-certified school counselors and licensed school social workers. Covers emotional regulation, resilience, and social skills, with goals developed together with the student and family. School social work roles at SoundEd focus on behavioral health, counseling, screeners, and intakes, not case management or classroom duties.

Psychoeducational evaluations

Delivered by nationally certified school psychologists (NCSP). Covers cognitive, academic, emotional, and behavioral functioning, with findings turned into a usable plan alongside the team, teacher, and parent.

Academic interventions

Foundational skills in math and reading, built around the goals already in a student’s plan.

Who SoundEd Therapy works with

Schools and districts

School districts and K-12 schools, including online and virtual public schools, that need related services they cannot staff locally.

Clinicians

Speech-language pathologists and SLPAs, occupational therapists and COTAs, physical therapists, school counselors, school social workers, and school psychologists who want remote, school-based work.

Families

Families seeking private one-on-one speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, counseling, psychoeducational evaluations, or academic interventions. Assessments can be done online or in person. Treatment is delivered through online sessions, a parent-coached home program, or both. Families start with a free consultation. Private evaluations (speech-language, occupational therapy, and psychological) come with a written report, recommended goals, and suggested accommodations written for school teams.

How partnering works for a school

  1. The school tells SoundEd Therapy which roles it needs to fill and which states its students are in.
  2. SoundEd matches a clinician who is fully credentialed, licensed in the student’s state, and experienced in schools.
  3. Sessions are scheduled around instruction, so no student misses regular class to attend.
  4. Services are delivered and documented. Therapists communicate with parents and teachers, IEP goals and service frequencies are met, and student progress is documented.
