At True Genius Education Services, Inc., we provide licensed speech-language and occupational therapy services to support communication, functional skills, and independence across medical, educational, and community settings. Services are provided for a range of needs, including developmental, medical, and functional concerns, as well as support for school, transition, and employment goals. Assessments are used as part of our clinical process to guide therapy goals, instruction, and program placement. We conduct comprehensive speech and occupational therapy evaluations, along with employment and functional skill assessments, to identify strengths, areas of need, and the level of support each individual requires.
When appropriate, therapy evaluations may also support an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) process under IDEA and Section 504.
