We Understand the Challenges Schools and Programs Face
Providing consistent, high-quality therapy services isn’t easy, regardless of your setting. Many schools and early childhood programs face common challenges, including:
- Service gaps caused by medical leave, turnover, or staffing shortages
- Increasing demands of current staff, leading to burnout
- Concerns from families or teachers when services are delayed or inconsistent
- Coordinating services across students, schedules, and classrooms
- Navigating compliance requirements or service expectations across different environments
- Working with large providers that lack flexibility or feel disconnected from your needs
Sidekick is designed to ease these challenges, so students receive consistent, high‑quality support,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.
