Both. Lighthouse works with individual schools and school districts to understand their special education service needs and explore ways to support their students.
A helpful starting point is the number of students needing services, their grade levels or ages, the service minutes and frequency they require, whether sessions can be grouped, and the level of support they need. We’ll ask follow-up questions during your planning call so we can understand the caseload and prepare an appropriate quote.
We start with a planning call to understand your school or district’s needs. We’ll discuss your caseload, service requirements, and what you’re looking for in a provider. From there, our team evaluates how we can help, prepares a quote, and walks you through the proposed services, timeline, and next steps. We want to make sure the partnership is a good fit before moving forward.
Yes. Lighthouse aims to build lasting relationships with providers, and some clinicians have worked with the company since its beginning.
If a school reduces services or does not renew, Lighthouse works to find another assignment to help replace your hours.
Under the school notice provision, the school gives Lighthouse 90 days’ notice for changes in caseloads. Lighthouse then uses that time to find another assignment for the hours you need.
Lighthouse Therapy has a 90-day school notice provision for reduced services. Lighthouse uses that time to work on another assignment to help fill the affected hours.
Assignments generally last the full school year unless identified in advance as shorter coverage, such as a leave of absence. Beth also describes two-year provider and school contracts.
Lighthouse typically uses a 70/30 split: approximately 70% direct time with students and 30% indirect time for work outside student sessions.
Yes. With the required licenses, you can combine assignments across states—for example, you could work 20 hours in California and 20 in Texas.
