Pinnacle Educational Services is a Non-Public Agency (NPA) specializing in providing seasoned and qualified Occupational and Speech and Language Therapists. Our therapists are available on a full or part-time as part of our contract staffing solutions for Charter Schools and Districts. Therapists are also available on an individual basis for In-Home services or at Pinnacle’s Educational Center.

At Pinnacle, our therapists are passionate and committed, seeing each student as an individual not a diagnosis. They also understand that there are social and emotional issues which often go hand in hand with such learning challenges and are equally as important. As a result, they help students navigate through the critical but sometimes invisible impact of feeling different from one’s peers … which is not only normal, but completely understandable.

As a parent of a special needs student, you know how challenging it can be to attempt to navigate, let alone master the complicated and established institution of public education … 

At Pinnacle, we have the experience from both sides of the desk, as not only professional teachers who have identified students for services, but also from personal experience as the parents of special education students. We’ve been there. We’ve done that … We don’t want you to go through the same experience, so we’re here to give you a hand, lighten your load and guide you.

Our special education advocates are not only experts in their field, having taught special education students in both the public and private sectors, but also possess special education credentials. In addition, they are given continuing education regarding the special education laws surrounding all aspects of the students we encounter.

As a result, our advocates not only work hard to get the students the correct treatment / education they are deserving of, but also to educate the parents on parent and student rights so the parent can become an effective self advocate for their child now and in the future...more info
