Who We Are:

The Related Service Consultants serve in a variety of ways to support and advance the provision of occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech and language services in schools. Services include consultation and technical assistance; provision of professional learning; distribution of professional news and information; facilitation of intrastate communication among occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, other related service providers, administrators, and educational personnel. Related Service Consultants build cohesion among school-based therapists through statewide networking activities including a monthly virtual discussion group, annual school-based therapy conference, and email communication. This program also works with other state agencies and stakeholders.
