The power of what's possible

Building Client Partnerships in School-based Delivery

 
Across the country, Progressus is helping administrators develop and operate therapy programs for young people through age 21. We share what we’ve learned about best practices in program design and management, and together with our school and agency partners, we deliver pre-referral strategies and assessments, evidence-based intervention models and the clinicians to implement them. Because Progressus is not just a staffing company, we customize our programs to meet the specific needs of your school districts and children. Our solutions are innovative and effective. 
 
Progressus matches licensed and certified SLPs, OTs and PTs with school districts and early intervention agencies committed to providing expert instruction and intervention for special education students. We take great care in our clinician selection and work closely with the leading professional associations and universities to locate the best.
 
We keep our clinicians informed of developments in the profession and assist them with challenging intervention issues. We provide them with resources about the latest thinking and evidence-based practices, and give them everyday access to top national experts.
 
By working together with our partners and each other, Progressus means better people, better processes and better results. That means you can stay focused on the children in your care.
