Supporting the Professionals
Who Serve Your Schools

Led by Licensed Experts

Our operations and leadership teams comprise professionals who have worked directly in school settings. This includes speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and nurses who now lead program design, support clinicians in the field, and bring real-world expertise to every partnership. Their experience ensures that services are practical, relevant, and rooted in the realities of school-based care.

Ongoing Clinical Oversight

Quality starts with accountability. Every clinician placed through ESS Clinical receives regular supervision and feedback from a regional leader who's knowledgeable in their discipline. This includes case consultation, support with navigating school systems, and guidance on best practices. This hands-on approach ensures that providers stay on track, students receive consistent care, and schools feel confident in the professionals serving their students.

Professional Development and Support

We are committed to the professional growth of our clinicians. Every provider receives structured onboarding, access to mentorship from experienced peers, and ongoing training opportunities tailored to their field.
