Why Districts and Families Count on Us

Each child’s success is the top priority. We build trust by being more than just a provider—we are a student’s advocate and a family’s partner. In an era of tight budgets and complex regulations, we provide the stability and expertise districts need to remain compliant and effective.

 

Pediatric School-Based Specialists: We don't just "do" therapy; we specialize in the school environment, ensuring our interventions translate directly into classroom
success from early intervention through graduation day for students with all diagnoses and needs.

Total Compliance: We stay ahead of the curve on ever-changing special education laws and rules, providing the latest professional development and direct supervisory
support. Every therapist on our team is vetted and licensed by professional boards, ensuring the highest standard of care.
 
Guaranteed Continuity of Service: Never worry about a lapse in IEP requirements. Our extensive network ensures a qualified therapist is available during extended staff
leaves.
 
Data-Driven Results: Using the most up-to-date standardized testing materials and a
sophisticated and tailored documentation system, underlying deficits are detected, and measurable progress is tracked.
  • Full-Scale Equipment Support: From pencil grips to gait trainers, we provide the specialized equipment necessary for student success.
     
  • Financial Efficiency: MCESC therapists meticulously document services to ensure your district maximizes Medicaid reimbursement. We have strong relationships with the Ohio Department of Medicaid and regional billing agents.
     
  • Administrative Duties: Direct supervisory support from experienced therapists who have worked in the school setting is provided. Our supervisors eliminate district burden by completing performance reviews, ensuring OT/PT licensure requirements are met, covering the hiring process, tracking employee attendance, monitoring caseload requirements, and providing problem-solving support.
     
  • Collaborative Partnership: As an ESC we understand education and value teamwork. We provide in-service training for your staff and support/develop programming, such as the creation of motor labs, sensory rooms, and integrated multi-tiered systems of support.
