The measures, metrics and processes used to evaluate professionals vary based on the district's priorities and objectives; however, we always ensure that a quality process is in place to drive continuous process improvement, productivity improvement and accountability. Furthermore, our clients have hands-on participation in all of our processes. You will have the opportunity to influence, change and evaluate our services. Once the selected consultant is on-site, we keep the communication channels open with both the district administrator and the professional. We designate personnel in each of our offices to communicate with consultants in the field. We also assign a lead supervisor who resides in your local area. The lead supervisor is responsible for orienting the professional to our company and your organization while maintaining frequent and regular contact with the professional.

School districts choose to work with ProCare Therapy for 3 reasons: simplicity, experience, and innovative recruiting. We simplify the staffing process by giving one point of contact and with over 20 years of experience, we've homed in on some of the best recruiting software to automate and expedite the staffing process. Though our focus is education, our client base spans the private and public sectors and includes several government programs where therapists are needed. Our directors of educational resources operate under a "full-desk" model, meaning our account managers also serve as our recruiters. This practice essentially cuts out the middleman and allows the person who best understands your needs to have immediate access to, and a pre-existing relationship with, the therapist who can best address those needs.

Once a candidate has been pre-screened and vetted by a Director of Educational Resources, they will be submitted to the district in consideration of an interview. Interviews are typically conducted over the phone to ensure that the candidate would be a good fit for the district and job requirements. If a good fit is determined, a formal contract is sent to both the school district and the candidate to secure the role. Depending on the speed of scheduling an interview and the district contract approval process, candidates can sometimes be hired within 24 hours of submittal.

ProCare Therapy is addressing the therapy shortage problem by doubling down on our recruiting efforts and expanding opportunities for tele-therapists nationwide.

School professions keep track of a child's progress by following the districts documentation system. Our therapists are familiar with a majority of the online IEP programs used nationwide.

Schools benefit from teletherapy by connecting students, regardless of location, with experienced and qualified tele-practitioners and tele-educators. As the implementation of tele-services has only grown exponentially, studies have shown that tele-services can be just as effective as on-site services. Not to mention, teletherapy is the most cost-effective method of delivering care to students.

In addition to tele-services, ProCare Therapy can provide access to Blazerworks – a Managed Service Provider – which consolidates some of the largest educational staffing companies.  Blazerworks streamlines staffing services by giving one point of contact and consolidating invoices.  Please visit https://www.blazerworks.com for more information.
