Questions? We have answers.
Can virtual therapy really work for school-based services?
Yes. When services are delivered by qualified school-based clinicians with strong collaboration, progress monitoring, and secure technology, virtual therapy can help schools maintain consistent support for students while reducing staffing gaps and service disruptions.
What are virtual related services?
Virtual related services are IEP-based supports delivered through secure online platforms, including speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, counseling, school psychology, and other specialized services. The goals, documentation, and accountability remain the same; the delivery model simply changes.
How do virtual, hybrid, and in-person therapy models compare?
Each model can work well depending on student needs, staffing realities, and district resources. Virtual services expand access to qualified providers, hybrid models combine remote support with on-site collaboration, and in-person services may be preferred when hands-on support is essential.
Will students stay engaged during virtual therapy?
Many students engage well when sessions are interactive, individualized, and supported by school staff when needed. Lighthouse therapists use activities, pacing, visual supports, and collaboration with school teams to help students participate meaningfully.
How can we help families feel comfortable with virtual services?
Families are more likely to support virtual services when they understand why the district is using them, how sessions work, how progress is monitored, and how students will be supported. Clear communication before services begin helps reduce uncertainty.
Do virtual therapy services still support IEP compliance?
Yes. Virtual related services are still tied to a student’s IEP goals, service minutes, documentation requirements, and progress monitoring. The delivery model changes, but the district’s responsibility to provide appropriate services remains the same.
Do students need an in-person facilitator for virtual services?
Not always, but an in-person facilitator or paraprofessional can be helpful, especially for younger students or students who need support with attention, redirection, materials, or technology. Lighthouse views facilitators as a best practice when student needs call for additional on-site support.
What technology or platform support is needed?
Virtual therapy typically requires a reliable internet connection, a device with audio/video capability, and a quiet space for the student. Lighthouse also provides platform and technical support so therapists and school teams can focus on services rather than troubleshooting.
How do we build buy-in from staff, families, and administrators?
Buy-in grows when stakeholders understand the “why” behind virtual services: provider shortages, service consistency, IEP support, and expanded access to qualified specialists. Early communication, stakeholder involvement, and clear answers to common questions help schools introduce services more smoothly.
How can Lighthouse help when we have staffing shortages?
Lighthouse helps districts fill service gaps by providing experienced clinicians through virtual, hybrid, and in-person models. This can support continuity of services, reduce pressure on internal teams, and help districts plan before shortages become crises.
How should we evaluate virtual therapy providers?
Look for providers that understand schools, support IEP compliance, communicate clearly, offer experienced clinicians, assist with implementation, and feel like an extension of your district team rather than a staffing vendor.
How much does virtual therapy cost compared to hiring a full-time employee?
The hourly rate for contracted therapy can look different from an employee salary, but school leaders should compare the full cost of an FTE, including benefits, recruiting, onboarding, HR, professional development, mileage, and administrative overhead.
