SLPs, educational diagnosticians, school psychologists (LSSPs), OTs and PTs for your district or shared services arrangement, on contract first, onsite or by teletherapy.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) oversees special education. In Texas the IEP team is the ARD committee (admission, review and dismissal), and only the ARD committee decides eligibility. That decision rests on the full and individual initial evaluation (FIIE), which often draws on an educational diagnostician, a school psychologist, an SLP, or all three.
The services the ARD committee writes into the IEP are required under IDEA and Texas law, and they are publicly funded. When a seat is empty, the minutes and the evaluation timelines keep running. We staff those seats on contract for the school year or the semester, by teletherapy where it fits. Direct hire is there if you want to keep the person.
Texas has 20 regional Education Service Centers (ESCs) that offer training, technical help and other services to the districts in their region. Districts can also join a special education shared services arrangement (SSA), where member districts pool staff and funds through one fiscal agent district. Contract staff fit either model. We can place a diagnostician with a single district, or an SLP who covers campuses across an SSA, with one invoice either way.
Every candidate's Texas license or credential is checked before we send them — onsite or by teletherapy.
Texas SLPs are licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). SLP assistants hold a TDLR assistant license and work under a licensed SLP’s supervision.
Clinical fellows practice under a TDLR intern license, and the internship can’t start until the license is issued and the supervisor’s plan is approved. ASHA’s clinical fellowship can run at the same time, but only the Texas intern license allows practice in Texas.
Educational diagnosticians hold a certificate from the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC). It requires a master’s degree, a valid classroom teaching certificate, classroom teaching experience, an approved preparation program and a passing score on the TExES Educational Diagnostician exam.
School psychologists are licensed by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists, part of the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. The license was called Licensed Specialist in School Psychology (LSSP) until a 2025 law renamed it school psychologist without changing the requirements.
School OTs and OTAs are licensed by the Texas Board of Occupational Therapy Examiners, under the Executive Council of Physical Therapy & Occupational Therapy Examiners.
School PTs and PTAs are licensed by the Texas Board of Physical Therapy Examiners, under the same executive council.
CCC-SLPs, bilingual and teletherapy SLPs, and SLPAs for every caseload.
Diagnosticians for academic and cognitive testing, reports and eligibility.
NCSPs and LSSPs for evaluations, eligibility, counseling and crisis support.
OTR/Ls and COTAs for fine motor, sensory and self-care IEP goals.
PTs and PTAs for mobility, gross motor, positioning and equipment.
Certified SPED teachers for resource, inclusion and self-contained rooms.
Teletherapy can deliver speech-language services and support evaluations and consults when the ARD committee agrees it fits the student. The provider must hold a Texas license for students located in Texas, wherever the provider lives: a TDLR license for an SLP, a Texas school psychologist license for psychological services. We confirm it before the candidate is sent.
