Integrated Services
Clinical and Behavioral Services
Inspire Academy employs certified school psychologists, clinical social workers, and behavior analysts, among our other clinical and behavioral staff. The clinical and behavioral teams work within a multidisciplinary environment, collaborating closely with teachers, related service providers, and administrators.
Some students with emotional and/or psychological barriers to learning receive individualized clinical services as directed by their IEP in order to help them be successful in their learning environment. Such services include group counseling services, individual counseling services, and parent consultation.
When a student and/or their family may benefit from additional services, they may be referred to community programs that can meet their needs. Inspire Academy offers Resource Coordination to assist families with accessing these supports.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy related services are provided to qualifying students via individual, small group and/or consultative sessions at the frequency deemed appropriate for successful participation by a student in their educational program. Areas addressed within the school environment include motor proficiency (strength, endurance, postural control, bilateral coordination, motor planning, manual dexterity, fine motor precision and coordination, visual motor integration, i.e. handwriting), visual perception, sensory processing, body awareness, self-regulation, play/leisure, vocational skills, and self-care. In addition, occupational therapists utilize research-based interventions; collaborate with a student’s team, provides staff and parent training; and recommend the adaptation of tasks and/or the environment for student success.
