How supervision is structured

Four roles behind every placement.

  • Clinical Director

    Sets the clinical standard across every placement and signs off on complex cases.

  • BCBA supervisors

    Board Certified Behavior Analysts who design and review every ABA programme.

  • Speech & Occupational Therapy leads

    Licensed therapists who set goals and review progress for every therapy placement.

  • Placement coordinators

    The people you'll speak to day-to-day — matching specialists to your family or school and keeping things on track.

Every LSA, tutor and therapist we place is vetted, credentialed and supervised by this team — not simply matched from a CV database. If you'd like to know who would be supervising your child's specific placement, ask us directly.
