As government health regulators, you are undoubtedly aware of the increasing challenges faced by educational institutions in providing adequate therapy services to students. With rising cases of burnout among in-house therapists and the ever-growing demand for specialized services, schools are struggling to meet the needs outlined in Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). TinyEYE is here to offer a research-driven solution to these pressing issues through our innovative online therapy services.
The Current Landscape of School-Based Therapy Services
The landscape of school-based therapy services is fraught with challenges. The shortage of qualified speech therapists and other specialists is a significant concern. According to recent studies, nearly 50% of school districts report difficulties in speech therapy staffing. This shortage not only impacts the quality of care provided but also places a considerable burden on existing staff, leading to high rates of burnout.
Furthermore, the requirements for compliance with IEPs are becoming increasingly stringent. Schools are legally obligated to provide the necessary services outlined in these plans, yet many are falling short due to inadequate staffing and resources. This gap in service delivery not only affects student outcomes but also exposes schools to potential legal ramifications.

At TinyEYE, we have leveraged extensive research to develop a comprehensive online therapy platform that addresses these critical issues. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and designed to offer scalable, effective solutions for schools.
