At CRA Therapy, we understand the importance of a school-based therapy approach.
In a natural education setting, children can carry on with their normal day-to-day routine while therapists are able to observe influences of the environment on the child’s development and behavior. In this setting, all educational curriculum standards are followed and can be used to evaluate a child’s abilities.
We understand the value of collaboration.
Through a collaborative effort, school-based therapists work closely with the special education team, administrators, and parents to develop an individualized education plan (IEP). This collaboration ensures students fulfill their developmental goals.
