About TheraPeds

TheraPeds offers hiring solutions for educational systems. We support schools and their special education programs by hiring qualified in-person and virtual therapists and educators.

TheraPeds is a therapist-owned and operated agency with more than 25 years of experience in the school system. While we started in Colorado as a contracting agency supporting Colorado schools, our hands-on model and expertise were a success and soon sought after in other states, leading to a nationwide expansion. It’s an honor to support schools across the country.

Why TheraPeds?

We aren’t headhunters or recruiters, nor are we a large corporation with many moving parts.

We know firsthand the demands of the special education system from a district, therapist, and teacher perspective. We also understand the need for qualified contract SPED providers and that both the district and provider feel engaged and supported. We also pride ourselves on being exclusively school-focused as well as having an excellent team of teachers and therapists available for in-person, virtual, or hybrid support.

Testimonials

We learned about Therapeds of Colorado mid-year when our hiring challenges became overwhelming. Karyn and her team are excellent professionals who customize critically necessary student services. There has never been a need that they have not been able to fill for us. In the 31 years that I have been in public education, I have never been impressed like this with special population services. The care and dedication of these online providers are top-notch!
