How School-Based Therapy Staffing Works
School-based therapy staffing connects K-12 school districts with licensed, credentialed therapists and special education professionals to fill open positions — whether for a single semester, a full school year, or long-term contract placements. Therapy Source manages the entire process, from sourcing qualified candidates to credentialing, compliance verification, and ongoing support throughout the placement.
Step 1: Contact Therapy Source
Schools submit a service request describing the therapy specialty needed (Speech-Language Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, School Psychology, or Special Education), the geographic location, the caseload size, and the preferred start date. Our team responds quickly to assess the district’s needs.
Step 2: Candidate Matching
Therapy Source matches your request with our active network of 1,500+ therapists and special educators. All candidates are verified for state licensure, professional credentials, and HIPAA/FERPA compliance before being presented to your district.
Step 3: Placement and Ongoing Support
Once your district selects a candidate, Therapy Source handles onboarding, contract management, and continued support throughout the placement. Our TheraWeb® platform is available for districts choosing teletherapy, providing a HIPAA-compliant, interactive online environment that works in low-bandwidth settings.
Frequently Asked Questions About School-Based Therapy Staffing
School therapy staffing connects school districts with licensed therapists and special education professionals to fill therapy vacancies. A staffing partner like Therapy Source handles sourcing, credentialing, compliance verification, and placement — the district provides the caseload, and the staffing company provides the qualified professional to serve students.
Therapy Source places Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), Occupational Therapists (OTs), Physical Therapists (PTs), School Psychologists, Licensed Professional Counselors, Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Special Education teachers, and paraprofessionals. Both in-person and teletherapy placements are available in all 50 states.
Therapy Source works to match school districts with qualified therapists as quickly as possible. Turnaround time varies based on the specialty, location, and caseload requirements, but our team begins the matching process immediately upon receiving a service request. We maintain an active network of 1,500+ therapists ready for assignment nationwide.
Yes. Therapy Source is fully HIPAA and FERPA compliant. Our proprietary teletherapy platform, TheraWeb®, is built with high-level data encryption and strict privacy controls to protect student information. All therapists placed by Therapy Source are required to adhere to HIPAA and FERPA standards throughout their assignment.
Therapy Source provides school-based therapy staffing services nationwide — in all 50 states. We offer both in-person placements and teletherapy through TheraWeb®, giving school districts across the country access to qualified therapy professionals regardless of their location.
Contract therapy staffing places a therapist through a staffing agency (like Therapy Source) who manages the employment relationship, payroll, benefits, and compliance. The district pays the staffing agency, which in turn pays the therapist. Direct hire means the district recruits and employs the therapist directly. Contract staffing offers flexibility, faster placement, and reduced administrative burden — ideal for filling vacancies quickly or covering leaves of absence.
In-person therapy staffing places a licensed therapist physically on-site at the school to provide face-to-face therapy services. Teletherapy staffing delivers the same evidence-based therapy services via Therapy Source’s TheraWeb® platform, connecting therapists with students remotely using secure, HIPAA-compliant video technology. Teletherapy is especially valuable for rural districts, districts with limited local talent, or situations requiring flexible scheduling.
