We Understand the Challenges Districts Face
Staffing speech‑language services is increasingly difficult — and districts often feel the pressure. Common challenges include:
- Service gaps caused by medical leave, turnover, or staffing shortages
- Burnout among your current speech staff
- Concerns from families or teachers when services are interrupted
- Risks of non‑compliance or missed service minutes
- Large staffing companies that feel disconnected from your district’s needs
Sidekick is designed to ease these challenges so students receive the consistent, high‑quality support they need—and your team feels supported, not stretched.
Happy Clients Choose Sidekick
Cala Gray, SLP, Greene County
Since having your therapists come to my schools, my group sizes have been cut in half and my students have made progress at such a fast rate It is so nice to be able to have the one-on-one services for my students and to have help managing my caseload.
Sherri Asaro, Ed.S, Retired Rogersville City Special Ed Director
I certainly know the difficulties one encounters to find therapists willing to work in our small rural school district, but I know I can trust you to always come through for us. I cannot begin to tell you how appreciative I am to have this stress taken from me.
Dr. Ann Nelson, Retired Special Ed Director, Hamblen County
Principals in our school district support the Sidekick speech therapists. They are described by the principals as 'coming to school early and ready to work'. ... I would recommend Sidekick Therapy Partners to any institution in need of high quality and professional speech therapy services."
Dr. Melinda Pruitt, Greene County
This shorter duration of 20 minutes and more sessions per week have been more productive for students with shorter attention spans and students who are young or also have attention deficit disorder. I have no hesitation in recommending [them] to you. I have been very satisfied, as have the principals and regular classroom teachers.
