Built for Nevada's Budget Reality
Special education positions are exempt from CCSD's hiring freeze, signaling acute need. Contracted therapy services deliver mandated IEP services without the burden of FTE hiring.
CCSD Contracted Services at Scale
Clark County's hiring freeze on non-SpEd positions means the district must rely on contracted services for therapy. ACT's teletherapy model delivers SLP and OT services at the scale CCSD needs, without the overhead of FTE hires during a $50M budget crisis.
Statewide Teletherapy Coverage
With only 17 districts, Nevada is a concentrated market. But rural districts like Nye, Elko, and Lyon counties face extreme provider shortages. ACT's teletherapy reaches every corner of the state, from Las Vegas to the mining communities of northeastern Nevada.
Bilingual Services for Clark County
CCSD is 35%+ ELL with significant Spanish-speaking populations. ACT's bilingual SLPs and OTs conduct evaluations and deliver therapy in Spanish and other languages, addressing the bilingual service gap that CCSD cannot fill with FTE hiring alone.
Cost-Effective Alternative to FTEs
When budget constraints prevent new hires, contracted services deliver mandated therapy without benefits, recruitment costs, or HR overhead. ACT's flexible model means districts pay only for the services they use.
Statewide Coverage, All 17 Districts
Nevada's county-based system means just 17 districts serve the entire state. Our teletherapy model can reach every one of them.
Clark County (Las Vegas)
The 5th-largest district in the U.S., teletherapy at scale for urban and suburban schools
Washoe County (Reno)
The state's second-largest district with growing bilingual service demand
Rural Counties
Mining communities, farming towns, and remote areas where teletherapy is the only viable model
ACT also serves Nevada through its Therapy Blocks affiliate.
