A typical day follows school hours and includes approximately 12 thirty-minute student sessions. Caseloads may consist of around 67 students, with a mix of group (2-5 students) and individual sessions, tailored to each student's needs. This setup ensures meaningful engagement and support for students.

- Conduct individual and group therapy sessions.
- Perform evaluations and annual review processes for students with IEPs.
