Specialties / School-based services
School-based services
District-employed and contract services across special education: evaluations, IEP-aligned therapy, behavior support and school mental health.
For candidates
What the work is like
- School-year calendar, predictable hours and holidays
- Caseload caps and paperwork time vary hugely between districts and agencies
- Contract roles usually pay more hourly; district roles usually win on benefits and retirement
For employers
The hiring reality
- Evaluation backlogs, not therapy minutes, are what most districts actually need solved
- The hiring window is compressed into spring and late summer; searches started in August rarely land
- Contract rates compete with district benefits and pension, so total-package comparison matters
