LTVEC has been providing quality School Support Services to children in public schools since 1971. We partner with school districts by providing cost-effective student centered services that assure regulatory compliance and quality outcomes.

Our Services

  • Occupational Therapy: School-based occupational therapists (OTs) and certified occupational therapy assistants (COTAs) focus on assisting students to acquire the functional abilities necessary so that students can access and participate in their educational program. Services include: assessment of sensory-motor areas and addressing concerns impacting the student’s ability to learn. OTs may help students with daily activities related to educational participation, adapt the performance context, teach alternative methods, or facilitate the use of assistive devices.

  • Physical Therapy: School-based physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapy assistants (PTAs) work with other educational professionals, members of the community and families to help all students engage in their educational activities. This collaboration is also the foundation for promoting the participation of students with disabilities in the general educational environment. PTs assess and provide direct treatment in the areas of safety, access, and mobility and their impact on the student’s ability to learn.

  • Speech Therapy: Qualified speech-language professionals seek to maximize a student’s potential in the area of communication to support and increase the student’s participation in their educational curriculum.
