PA Partnership
We are excited to partner with Johnson City Speech and Language Therapy to provide OT services to our students during the school day. You can learn more about the amazing therapists our students get to work with in the “Meet Our OTs” info below this letter. It’s important to note that while families will be financially responsible for OT services received, Johnson City Speech and Language accepts most insurance plans. We pray that providing space and time for students to receive these services during the school day helps our families manage the many after-school activities we love to see students involved in.
If you are interested in having your child receive services during the school day, or to initiate the screening process, please fill out our referral form (use this link or QR code below) as soon as possible. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. You can learn more about Johnson City Speech and Language Therapy at www.jcspeechandlanguage.com.
Thank you,
