Integrated therapy in schools has become a common approach to offering therapeutic services such as occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), speech-language pathology (SLP) and applied behavioral analysis (ABA) to students in an educational environment.

It can be difficult to strategically maintain a positive digital presence, so join us as we take a deeper look at the power of Google reviews, learn more about evolving patient standards and discover how to foster positive first impressions with your target audiences.
