Job #1: Understanding your school’s special education needs
First, we spend time to understand your specific needs for your unique students. We ask questions that help us understand important things such as “What are your communication needs?” or “What are your reporting needs, formats and deadlines?” With this information, we can set up the STAR Teletherapy Platform for your school’s special education program, quickly and effectively. Or we can provide therapists, get them assigned, and ready to contact your school.
2. Simplify your contract for a quick start
Your contract is set up quickly so that whenever you are ready to go, E-Therapy is also ready. The contract can be set up in a way that enables you to hit “go” when needed and is managed completely by our E-Therapy team.Alternatively, if you don’t need services right away, we can get your contract done and your data in our system so that when the light turns green for services, you have no wait times.
3. Ready your school team for teletherapy
At the same time your contract is finalized, your team is set up. If you require staffing help, we hand pick from our expert therapists based on what we heard from you in our first engagement meeting. If your school-based therapists will be transitioning online, our onboarding team readies themselves to train your school on the STAR Teletherapy Platform.Part of the on-boarding process that will delight your team is the introduction of your E-Therapy Account Manager. This person is your go-to expert at E-Therapy that guarantees your school, your therapists, and your students get outstanding services in the most effective way possible.
4. Student profiles uploaded
As engagement begins, our Operations Team jumps in to upload your student’s pertinent data in the STAR Platform which enables your therapists to schedule meetings when the time is right. Even before the first therapy session happens, your student profiles are ready to go for your in-house therapists.If we are providing services, our expert teletherapists start planning for sessions based on the particulars of the student’s needs!
5. Set your school’s teletherapy start date with your team
Now that the contract is complete and your student profiles are ready, your E-Therapy account manager together with your school’s team lead will set a start date. Once the start date is in our system, your therapists can schedule training sessions almost immediately to ensure students experience no delay in getting services.
6. Training! Training and more training!
Schools licensing E-Therapy’s STAR Teletherapy Platform will have live training sessions with a platform expert. Your team’s confidence will grow as they transform into teletherapy pros with astonishing speed.
