Why Districts Choose All Care Therapies
We don't just place therapists, we are built to deliver a managed therapy program with built-in compliance, bilingual capacity, and audit-ready documentation.
Bilingual Services in 17 Languages
Only 6% of ASHA-certified SLPs identify as Hispanic, yet 28% of school-age children are. Our bilingual evaluators and therapists, led by Spanish but spanning 17 languages, directly address the most critical gap in school-based services. Diana Case compliant (CA). ELL-sensitive assessments that distinguish language difference from disorder.
Experienced Teletherapy Team
Our therapists bring years of teletherapy and school-based experience. Districts get a partner with deep virtual service delivery expertise, proven outcomes, and clinicians who understand the school environment.
IEP Compliance Tracking Platform
Our proprietary platform tracks every session minute against IEP mandates, producing audit-ready documentation that protects your district from OSEP compliance findings, state complaints, and due process hearings.
SLPA Supervision
Many districts have SLPAs they can't utilize because they lack supervising SLPs. ACT provides the supervision infrastructure that unlocks your existing SLPA capacity, maximizing the team you already have.
Hybrid Delivery: Telehealth + On-Site
Not all students can be served via telehealth, preschoolers, sensory integration, and feeding therapy need hands-on support. ACT offers the full spectrum so your district doesn't need multiple vendors.
400+ Therapists at Scale
ACT can staff an entire district's therapy program, not just a single position. From a 500-student charter school to a 300,000-student district, we scale to your needs with competitive pricing.
Serving Districts in California, Texas & Nevada
Each state has unique regulatory frameworks and challenges. We speak your state's language.
California
2,716+ active SLP school job postings statewide (2025 data)
AB 130 Medi-Cal expansion means your district can now bill Medi-Cal for ALL eligible students, we help you capture that revenue while delivering bilingual services your SELPA needs.
Texas
ESA voucher surge tripled IEP evaluation requests in suburban districts
TX special education enrollment has nearly doubled since 2014. The ESA program created 176,000+ new applications. Districts need evaluation and service capacity they've never had before.
Nevada
CCSD: 140+ SpEd vacancies, $50M budget cut, hiring freeze except special education
With only 17 districts statewide and CCSD's budget crisis forcing reliance on contracted services, Nevada is a concentrated opportunity for teletherapy at scale.
ACT also serves students in Florida and other states via telehealth.
Teletherapy Delivers Results
With a trained facilitator or e-helper on-site, teletherapy delivers outcomes comparable to in-person for virtually all school-based therapy services.
| Service | Telehealth Effectiveness | Evidence Level | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Articulation Therapy | Comparable to in-person | Strong | All ages with facilitator |
| Language Therapy | Comparable to in-person | Strong | All ages with facilitator |
| Fluency (Stuttering) | Comparable to in-person | Strong | All ages |
| Social Communication | Highly effective via video | Strong | All ages with facilitator |
| OT: Visual-Motor & Handwriting | Effective with facilitator support | Strong | All ages with facilitator |
| ABA / Behavioral Support | Effective with on-site aide | Strong | All ages |
Teletherapy sessions count toward IEP minutes, just like in-person.
Virtual sessions delivered through ACT are recognized as direct service time and satisfy IEP service delivery requirements.
