CES announces partnership to offer speech therapy for students

Coast Episcopal School (CES) and Beyond Therapy for Kids, Gulfport, MS (BTK-G) recently announced a partnership that will enable BTK-G to offer speech therapy sessions on site at Coast Episcopal School for its students.  Speech therapists will evaluate and treat the students based on medical necessity and coordinate billing with each family’s insurance coverage, as well as offer a self-pay option for those families who prefer to pay out-of-pocket.  

Sessions will begin once BTK-G has received a speech therapy evaluation referral from the student’s doctor, a process for which the organization can provide support.

“The difference between good developmental progress and great progress is parental involvement and continuing education,” said BTK-G Clinic Director/Partner Robin McCaffery.  “Even a small investment will enhance a student’s learning.  To help, Beyond Therapy for Kids, Gulfport, MS will be constantly teaching the CES faculty, students and sharing information with CES’ families to support early childhood development.”

“We are so pleased to be offering Beyond Therapy for Kids, Gulfport, MS speech support and know the services they provide will enhance the already strong academic foundation Coast Episcopal School provides for each of our students,” according to Winter, who continued, “This is the second academic support program CES has instituted this year; the first being the addition of Brittany Brewer as a learning strategist and dyslexic specialist.  Brewer’s position provides support for both teachers and students in enhancing reading proficiencies. The addition of speech therapy support is another way we will augment our students’ academic journey.”
