Presence Live, Online Therapy Services and tools:
Speech & Occupational Therapy, Behavior & Mental Health What Sets Us Apart? We innovate with purpose. We create equity.

Presence is the leading provider of live online therapy and evaluation services in preK-12 schools and beyond. At the heart of the company is a purpose-built therapy platform, designed by clinicians for clinicians, that allows school teams to serve children both in and out of school. It also allows schools to extend their teams and connect each of their students with a highly skilled, licensed clinician from Presence’s national network of more than 2,200 speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and behavioral and mental health professionals. To date Presence has delivered 5 million therapy sessions to schools and districts in every region of the U.S. and recently opened up its therapy platform to individual and group practices. We work hard to empower:

School social workers are often the steady presence behind the scenes, supporting students through crisis, connecting families with essential resources, advocating in IEP meetings, coaching educators, and helping schools build safer, more responsive environments.

They de-escalate big emotions, uncover the “why” behind absences, develop safety plans, and ensure students’ voices are heard. Their work goes far beyond one role or one room. It’s about stability, access, advocacy, and care.

During National School Social Worker Week, we’re recognizing the professionals who show up every day to make sure students feel supported, understood, and empowered to succeed. Thank you for the impact you make in schools and in students’ lives.

The field of school psychology is evolving. AI, technology, and growing student needs are impacting how services are delivered.

If you are at National Association of School Psychologists (NASP), be sure to join Bonnie Contreras of Presence and Adam Lockwood of Kent State University tomorrow (Thursday, February 26) as they team up for MS107: Transforming School Psychological Services through Integrating AI and Virtual Services.

This session digs into practical applications to modernize school psychological services through the thoughtful use of AI, expansion of virtual support, and technology that can actually make practitioners’ lives easier.

Can't make it? Stop by our booth for a discussion and ask about future learning opportunities!

"We must appreciate what is happening around children before we identify difficulties within them."

As the school psychology community prepares to gather in Chicago for this week’s NASP 2026 Annual Convention, we are pleased to share a special conversation with a leader in the field.

We recently sat down with Dr. Charles Barrett, Ph.D., NCSP, to discuss the evolving landscape of school psychology. From addressing critical staffing shortages to the vital importance of representation in leadership, Dr. Barrett offers a roadmap for how we can better serve ALL students.

Swipe through for key takeaways from our conversation, and read the full interview on our blog.

Assessment is one of the most powerful things we do as clinicians.

Assessments influence services, placement, support, and a child’s educational trajectory. That’s why looking beyond the standard score matters.

Standardized tools give us valuable data, but they don’t capture lived experience, cultural identity, dialect, community context, or systemic inequities that may shape performance. To be effective, practitioners need to ask better questions, use multiple data points, and approach every evaluation with cultural humility.

Whole-child assessment isn’t about abandoning data. It’s about deepening it.

Happy Lunar New Year 🧧✨

This year welcomes the Year of the Horse, a symbol of strength, resilience, determination, and forward momentum.

The horse represents energy, perseverance, and the courage to keep moving forward, even when the path isn’t easy. Those qualities feel especially meaningful in the work of supporting students, families, and school communities every single day.

As we step into this new year, we’re inspired by that spirit:
steady progress, bold growth, and the drive to create meaningful impact.

Wishing everyone a year filled with strength, clarity, and continued forward motion. 🐎✨

Remote work can create physical distance—but it doesn’t have to create relational distance.

As teletherapists, presence shows up in small, intentional choices:
how we orient our camera, how we regulate our bodies, how deeply we listen.

When we show up with intention, students experience safety, attunement, and trust.
And that’s where authentic connection lives—even through a screen.
