In recent years, the landscape of special education has undergone a significant transformation, largely due to the advent of virtual therapy services. As funding agencies dedicated to supporting special education, it is crucial to stay abreast of these developments and understand how they can benefit the students and schools you serve. TinyEYE, a leading provider of online therapy services, offers a unique and effective solution that can address many of the challenges faced by special education programs today.
Many educators and therapists are feeling burnt out due to the increasing demands and complexities of providing specialized support to students. Virtual therapy can be a game-changer in this regard, offering a flexible and efficient way to deliver high-quality services without the added stress of logistical constraints.
