Summary:
|
|
Therapy Travelers is a non-public agency (NPA) that provides Speech and Language Pathology Services for school based services that are identified on Individual Education Plans (IEP's). When the district (MDUSD) is not able to fill all open positions with district employees, the use of contract agencies is necessary to ensure that we are in compliance with state and federal law that govern special education. Therapy Travelers is a company that will be utilized to provide Speech Services to ensure that all of our needed Speech Services are covered for the 2018-2019 school year. This past school year the department had four SLPs retire and another four move onto other school districts, creating further openings. Therapy Travelers has found one SLP to assist in these openings. MDUSD Personnel Department and Special Education continues to recruit and hire district employees. |
