School Based Therapy
School-Based Therapy
For the convenience of students and parents, we offer therapy services to students at several local schools, including Kent Island High School, Bayside Elementary, Matapeake Elementary, Matapeake Middle, Centreville Middle, and Kennard Elementary Schools. We may add school-based therapy services at other QACPS schools, so feel free to call us to ask if we can see your child at a school not listed here. In addition to providing individual therapy to children and teens in these schools, our school-based therapy program welcomes parents to collaborate in their child's care by offering parent/family sessions at school, in office, or via telehealth.
Initial Appointment
Parents seeking school-based therapy services for a child should contact us to schedule an initial appointment (by telehealth, at the office, or at school) with one of our school-based therapists. At the initial appointment, the therapist can answer questions about school-based therapy, and the child, therapist, and parent(s) can discuss whether school-based therapy is the best treatment plan.
Insurance Coverage
Insurance coverage for school-based therapy is no different from insurance coverage for therapy at the office. Except when children have state medical assistance (Medicaid), we do require parents of children receiving school-based therapy to provide authorization for CBPS to charge a credit card on file for parental financial responsibilities such as copayments and deductibles—since insurers require us to collect copayments at the time of service.
