Hello There Hybrid Service
School Psychology Jobs and SLP Jobs in Schools in Amarillo, Lubbock, Abilene, El Paso and West Texas
School districts throughout west Texas, including Amarillo, Lubbock, Abilene, and El Paso depend on us to provide onsite and telepractice therapy to kids in their schools. Our Hello There hybrid teletherapy model allows districts to benefit from highly qualified specialists, even if they are unable to find them in their own community.
The Hello There model combines the best of both worlds: monthly on-site visits paired with daily online services. Teletherapy is an effective and efficient way to deliver direct services to students, but nothing replaces a specialist working in the building when it comes to collaboration with teachers, school staff, and families. That’s why we developed our innovative Hello There hybrid telepractice model. Our SLPs and school psychs will train and supervise aides, write lesson plans, provide direct and consultative services to students, complete compliance paperwork, hold and attend meetings, and otherwise develop a wealth of institutional knowledge.
Teletherapy
Teletherapy
We have been providing teletherapy and working remotely since 2009 – long before COVID prompted online instruction around the world.
Because we’ve had years of experience, we’ve honed the art of meeting the needs of students remotely. We’ve leveraged the benefits of teletherapy, allowing special education teams to work with highly skilled therapists to address special education needs. Our therapists train and supervise aides, and provide lesson plans as well as consultative feedback from a wealth of institutional knowledge. Additionally, they’ll complete compliance paperwork, hold and attend meetings, and the following:
- Providing or supervising therapy via streaming video
- Planning therapy for students
- Providing regular consultations and feedback with team members
- Attending meetings by video or conference call
- Communicating with families and staff as needed via phone, video, or email
