How it Works
Online therapy services ensures your students have a consistent, effective experience with their own TinyEYE therapist.
TinyEYE therapists connect with students and work toward their IEP goals in a way that is highly engaging and drives student success. Learning with our therapists is exciting and schools have reported students do not want to miss their “TinyEYE day”!
Efficient and Effective
ASHA reports that a typical school-based therapist spends 68% of their work hours providing direct therapy. The rest of their time is spent on planning, reporting and travel. TinyEYE has automated much of the planning and reporting as well as eliminated the travel time which allows our therapists to invest more of their billable hours providing direct therapy, in addition to providing:
- Customized reports detailing progress after each session
- Remote IEP and parent-teacher meeting attendance

Getting Started
All you need to start online Speech or Occupational Therapy at your school is a computer with a webcam, a headset, and a high speed internet connection.
Initial Meeting(s)
A TinyEYE Representative will meet with your Special Education Team regarding the overall therapy goals and special requirements of your schools. The result is a plan that supports your overall therapy goals within the limits of your available resources.
Service Agreement
TinyEYE's service agreement will need to be signed off on by your school jurisdiction. The agreement is student- focused, with the intent of setting clear expectations with no surprises. Invoices are sent out monthly for the actual amount of time utilized, broken down to the minute.
Student Planning and Scheduling
The TinyEYE Team works with your staff to determine the number of students requiring assessments and intervention. Therapists will follow existing IEPs where they exist, and work with each students support team to develop an IEP where they do not. TinyEYE will collaborate with you to create a weekly schedule and plan that supports your goals and resources.
Consent for Therapy
TinyEYE strives to make it as simple as possible for you to obtain consent from your students' parents, while ensuring that appropriate measures are followed. Once your TinyEYE online Speech-Language Pathologist or online Occupational Therapist has been carefully selected for your school, this is also an opportunity to introduce parents to their child's therapist.

Speech-Language Pathology eHelperWe really enjoy the services and the friendly atmosphere during sessions. I noticed a great improvement on most of the students, and they really liked the activities. The students were very engaged and enthusiastic about coming to the sessions. To add to that, [our therapist] really made the students comfortable and confident during the activities.

Nancy K.
TinyEYE TherapistI have 20+ years’ experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist working with children. For the past three school-years, I have had the pleasure and personal growth of serving a school district as a TinyEYE SLP. During this time, I have been able to positively impact more students in a shorter period of time than in any of my past experiences as an onsite therapist… AND have established extremely close relationships with my students!

- Every year, schools are wasting precious Special Education dollars on:
- Windshield Time (paid travel time, mileage and meals, opportunity cost of therapy hours wasted on driving)
- Inefficient caseload management
- Reporting programs seldom seen by parents or used by caseload managers
- The need to repeatedly purchase updated therapy tools and supplies
- There is another way. Through TinyEYE's online SLP and OT services, you can:
Eliminate Windshield Time:
Therapists connect instantly to your students, regardless of geographic location
Streamline planning & reporting:
TinyEYE’s system allows therapists to reduce the amount of time spent on planning and reporting, while still customizing each session
to the needs of each student. TinyEYE SLPs and OTs spend an average of 85% of billed time in therapy with students in comparison to an average rate of 68% by traditional, on-site therapists.
Optimize caseloads:
On-site therapy requires that you have enough therapists to cover your caseload. Often, that means hiring excess capacity to manage fluctuations. TinyEYE allows you to pay for only the therapy hours you use and adjust your services based on your changing needs.
Use state-of-the-art tools & supplies: The TinyEYE platform is constantly being improved and our therapists are regularly learning new therapy techniques. We bring the most innovative and effective therapy methods to you.
- Dollars and Sense
- At TinyEYE, we understand that students come first. That is why we provide multiple pricing options to make sure you are getting the very best value for your therapy dollar:
- No recruitment cost
- Fixed or hourly pricing options
- Only charged for services used
- Budget management assistance
- No setup costs or annual fee

We value partnering with educators and parents to help your child thrive in a learning-enriched environment. Consulting with your child’s team is especially helpful when your child may not personally attend regular sessions. We focus on supporting your child’s educators, who will help your child excel during the day.

Yes. In fact, TinyEYE works with many different school districts, cooperatives and charter schools, large and small. Our team specializes in providing services for a wide variety of students across many geographic areas – providing quality, custom therapy services and creating efficiencies.
TinyEYE audits each of our online therapists to ensure that sessions are completed, students are progressing, and reporting is accurate. If there are any issues, this audit system allows us to correct them. Additionally, our virtual office and reporting practices guarantee transparency: by logging into your virtual office you will get a real-time update, 24/7 on the state of your therapy program.
An eHelper can be an educational assistant, a tutor, a volunteer, a teacher, a parent, or another therapist. This person is responsible for bringing students to their sessions from their classrooms, getting students logged into their sessions, and ensuring that there are no distractions or interference on the student’s side. Speech Therapy eHelpers can be working on other things while a TinyEYE session is in progress. For Occupational Therapy, eHelpers may need more hands-on involvement. eHelpers are an essential component of your students’ achievement. Our TinyEYE therapists work closely with eHelpers to establish a partnership plan for the year. We value our eHelpers and we are grateful for their contributions to our students’ overall experience.
Yes, we can support any academic skill and move at the pace requested by the school. We have access to all Common Core Standards for each state, and can tailor our lessons according to those standards.
TinyEYE provides online Speech-Language Pathology and Occupational Therapy services to students with all disabilities and disorders. We can work in consultation with school staff for students with significant needs, or an educational assistant can help the student participate. We also create individualized lesson plans and activities for each student to match their learning style.
There are multiple ways to keep students engaged, but it all starts with the right therapist. TinyEYE carefully selects our Speech-Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists considering not only their expertise, but also their enthusiasm and ‘spark’. Activities are chosen and customized based on the learning needs and interests of each student, so many students forget that they are in therapy altogether! Our students feel safe, capable, and empowered to fully engage in their learning.
After each session, your TinyEYE therapist creates a session report highlighting the skills that were worked on, any notes to the parents, and next steps. These are available in each student’s online backpack, which also contains activities for the students to practice with their parents between sessions. TinyEYE Therapists can also participate in meetings and consultations with students’ parents. Additionally, therapists can create video messages to students and parents using video clips from actual therapy sessions. Add it up, and your students’ parents will be engaged in their child’s therapy like never before!
Yes. Your therapist will attend meetings remotely, through video conferencing or a conference call.
No! In fact, there are pockets across North America where there is either an excess of therapists for the number of positions available, or more commonly – not enough therapists to fill the number of positions available. TinyEYE helps to balance this by employing a combination of therapists from your state, therapists from other states, and military spouses overseas to find the best quality therapist for you, and the best balance of therapists within a region.
Small schools often face small or variable caseloads, meaning that they need to find a part-time therapist, or hire a full-time therapist who may not have a full-time caseload. TinyEYE allows you to “hire” an online therapist for only the amount of time that you need – and remain flexible to shift as those needs change.
The quality of our therapists drive the successful outcomes of our students. Therapists must complete training and achieve our performance standards before meeting with your students. Then, our quality assurance infrastructure enables us to continuously track and act based on our student progress and therapist performance during sessions and throughout the year.
TinyEYE has worked with many Montessori schools. With experience in serving Montessori schools, we are flexible to meet your individual needs – including putting our therapists through your onboarding and training program.
- Once you have committed to receiving therapy from TinyEYE, our team will contact you to:
- Obtain consent forms for each student who will be receiving therapy
- Conduct a systems check on the computer(s) to be used for therapy
- Train your eHelper(s) on how to use the TinyEYE system.
- These processes are in place to ensure that your therapy goes smoothly and sends your students on their paths to success!

Yes! We typically serve group sizes of 2 – 3 students. We can also accommodate classrooms – contact us directly to discuss group sizes and room set-up.
We can use many of the standard assessments that you are already familiar with as well as doing informal assessments.

They have access to a large inventory of current standardized assessments and they are also competent with administering informal assessments. Our therapists have the tools to ethically administer both options through our online format.
Yes! We can provide services in multiple languages – including but not limited to English, French, Spanish, and Dutch. Utilizing a bilingual therapist for the assessment of ESL students is very beneficial.
