Direct School Contracts | DC-Based | OT · PT · Speech · Assistive Technology
Skills on the Hill partners directly with DC public charter schools to provide on-site therapy services under school-based contracts. We understand the demands of the charter school environment: IEP timelines, Medicaid documentation, IDEA compliance, mandatory reporting, and the need for therapists who can integrate seamlessly into your school culture without disrupting the day.
Whether your school needs a therapist on staff five days a week or coverage support for a single discipline, we build arrangements that fit your program — not the other way around.
Services We Provide
- Occupational therapy — sensory processing, fine motor, visual motor integration, self-regulation, handwriting, activities of daily living
- Physical therapy — gross motor development, balance, coordination, mobility, and functional movement
- Speech-language pathology — articulation, language processing, social communication, fluency, AAC, and literacy support
- Assistive technology evaluations — comprehensive AT assessments to support students with complex communication and access needs

How We Work With Your School
Full caseload coverage: We provide a dedicated therapist for your school — managing evaluations, direct services, IEP participation, and documentation.
Overflow and supplemental support: When caseloads exceed your in-house capacity or a clinician goes on leave, we step in without disruption.
Evaluation support: When evaluation timelines are at risk, we provide timely, thorough assessments to keep your school in compliance.
Specialty consultation: We offer AT evaluations, AAC consultation, and specialty services not always available within a school’s existing staff.
We serve schools across all eight wards of Washington, DC and welcome conversations with charter management organizations managing multiple campuses.
