Frequently Asked Questions
What are virtual school-based professionals?
Virtual school-based professionals are trained specialists who work with students remotely to support communication, learning, and academic progress. Schools often rely on virtual Speech-Language Pathologists, SLPAs, and tutors to expand access to services and meet student needs.
How do virtual providers integrate with in-school teams and schedules?
Even from a distance, our virtual providers become an extension of your school community. They align with established schedules, collaborate with school teams, and deliver high-quality individualized support needed to effectively service students with diverse needs.
How do you ensure student engagement in virtual sessions?
Our virtual providers use evidence-based strategies, interactive techniques, and individualized approaches to encourage participation and keep students engaged throughout each session. If a change in engagement or participation is observed, providers collaborate with school teams to identify potential barriers and determine appropriate next steps to support student success.
“It’s natural for districts to wonder whether virtual providers can build the same rapport as in-person staff. In our experience, they absolutely can when expectations are clear and communication is consistent across all members of the IEP team. The strongest virtual providers don’t operate independently; they develop strategies that intentionally collaborate with their fellow educators, stay closely connected to students’ progress towards their goals, and allow them to become trusted members of the team.” – Graceon Borus, Director of Therapy Services Operations
What onboarding and training do virtual providers receive specific to school environments?
Our virtual providers complete onboarding focused on school-based practices, educational compliance requirements, documentation standards, and effective collaboration with school teams. Providers also receive ongoing professional development and support to stay current on evidence-based practices, strengthen student engagement, and proactively address emerging needs.
Throughout each assignment, it’s important that we remain a dedicated partner to both our providers and district teams, ensuring ongoing support and responsiveness wherever needed.
