Expanding Access: Enhancing School-Based Clinical Staffing with Teletherapy Solutions
CONCLUSION
Staffing psychologists, speech-language pathologists, nurses, physical and occupational therapists and other clinical professionals is a challenging task in today’s tight labor market. Many schools report that they are understaffed and are seeking solutions to this problem. Teletherapy is one such solution. Implementing teletherapy services, including a hybrid work model featuring both virtual and on-site services, can increase staffing levels and help expand student access to evaluation and direct therapy services. Implementation of teletherapy requires a number of sequential steps, including school district education, needs assessment, the appropriate technology, clinicians with school experience, a capable staffing partner, and on-site support.
When meeting these requirements, teletherapy services may provide a significant enhancement of school- based clinical staffing options and expand student access to required care.
