Summary: SPG Therapy & Education is a non-public agency (NPA) that provides speech and language pathologist, occupational therapists, physical therapists, registered behavior technicians, behavior and paraprofessionals for school-based services that are identified on Individual Education Plans (IEP's) and 504 Plans.
