I often speak with prospective therapists who want to know about the age group they might work with. Let me break down our service population and how we match therapists with students.
Our Service Range
At Lighthouse Therapy, we partner with schools and school districts to provide services across a broad age spectrum:
- Early intervention (birth to 3 years)
- Pre-K students
- K-12 students
- Extended services up to age 22
School-Based Focus
Our service model mirrors traditional brick-and-mortar school district positions. Once you join our team, you'll be assigned to specific school sites based on current needs and your experience.
Matching Process
We take several factors into account when making assignments:
- Your previous experience
- Age group preferences
- Areas of expertise
- Current school contract needs
Flexibility in Assignments
While we strive to match therapists with their preferred age groups, some flexibility may be needed. For example:
- You might prefer elementary, but initially work with middle school students
- Opportunities to switch age groups may arise as positions open up
- Assignments can change from year to year based on school needs
Professional Growth Opportunities
Working with different age groups can provide valuable experience and broaden your skill set. Many therapists find they enjoy working with age groups they hadn't previously considered.
Your Input Matters
We value your preferences and experience:
- Tell us about your experience with specific age groups
- Share your comfort level with different populations
- Let us know if you have specialized training for certain age ranges
At Lighthouse Therapy, we're committed to creating successful matches between therapists and students while meeting our schools' needs. Visit www.lighthouse-therapy.com to learn more about joining our team.
