Challenge
Page County Public Schools faced a growing need among students for psychoeducational services. The district only had three school psychologists on staff, which amounted to one school psychologist per one thousand students. They also needed to provide their school-based team with professional learning in delivering services in a virtual environment, especially in speech and occupational therapy.
Solution
Kanga by Presence helped the district’s school-based team effectively deliver services through teletherapy. In addition, a school psychologist in the Presence network helped round out their school team—using the Kanga platform to administer a significant portion of their psychoeducational assessments remotely.
Results
Now, the Page County Public School system is identifying needs efficiently and keeping up with the increased volume. Looking ahead, the district now knows they can lean on Presence for direct therapy to support students, in addition to ongoing assessment support.
