Extended School Year... Trilogy Therapy is Here to Help!

Extended School Year (or ESY as it’s called in many school districts) is known as the extra or additional special education and/or related services a student receives before or after school or over an extended break like winter, spring or summer break. These services can help a student continue to grow and move toward meeting his/her IEP goals.  ESY services also assist students to avoid regression, and when used appropriately, have many benefits for students receiving special education and related services. It can be difficult, however, for school districts to find providers to fulfill the required ESY service time students need. 

There are many reasons speech, occupational and physical therapists work in school districts, one of them… extended breaks (summer, winter and spring). Let’s face it, it’s extremely nice to have these breaks, and if these specialists have children of their own, it’s an added benefit to follow a “school schedule.” Often when school districts turn to district employed, therapists to fill the required ESY hours, they find many of the specialists declining. Don’t worry Trilogy Therapy is here to help.

Trilogy Therapy has occupational, speech and physical therapists ready to take on any and all district ESY needs. We use a unique approach called our mixed model approach which utilizes both on-site therapy and virtual therapy services. With a mix of both on-site and virtual therapy services, successful outcomes are achieved for students, all while decreasing the inefficiencies of trying to fill ESY therapy positions with district therapists who want and need a break. Trilogy Therapists can provide therapy services to students over breaks to meet ESY needs, all while continuing to work toward meeting IEP goals and objectives. That way district therapists are able to return after breaks refreshed and ready to take on full caseloads. 

Trilogy Therapy is committed to providing related services to rural and hard to access areas where therapists can be difficult to find. We believe no matter where you are, access to therapy should have no boundaries and we are committed to fulfilling this need throughout Wyoming.

Trilogy Therapy is ready to take on any and all ESY needs your district may face. If you want your students to continue making good gains, and your district therapists to be refreshed and ready to take on a full caseload, ask Trilogy Therapy about covering your ESY therapy needs today!
