About Us

Founded in 2023, Skybound provides school-based therapy in schools throughout the south-central Pennsylvania region.

As our region has grown, we have seen more children being identified with needs in the classroom. We’ve also noticed more schools are challenged with meeting the staffing challenges to address those needs. We’re here to meet the needs of each individual school and more.

Our goal is to collaborate with school districts to identify a shared mission and practice model that supports the unique needs of the school community and the students, staff, and families which it serves.

We understand the importance of therapy in the schools. We’ve also just spent time speaking with teachers and administrators to find out what is important to them. From those conversations and from our own perspectives, we’ve created 3 main principles about our company

  1. A Local Company

Skybound is committed to providing therapy to local school districts in south central Pennsylvania. By limiting our scope, we can maintain strong partnerships with local schools. We hire local therapists. Our model includes consistent consultation with schools to ensure processes and services are delivered accordingly. We want to collaborate with the school district administration to review and make informed recommendations regarding caseload and staffing needs. Regular contact with our company is expected throughout the school year to ensure processes and services are meeting expectations of the district.

2. In-Person Therapy

Let’s be honest, teletherapy filled a void during COVID. We are thankful that therapy was provided at those times. However, technology issues, classroom aides sitting with children, attention issues and the overall ineffectiveness of teletherapy have pointed us to committing to providing only in-person therapy. I’m sure many of us can all acknowledge that teletherapy is not as effective as in-person therapy. Often classroom aides would need to sit with children while they receive teletherapy from a therapist across the state. We are committed to providing therapy that is in-person. We have found that in-person therapy is more productive and also preferred by students, parents, therapists, teachers, administrators, and assistants.

3. Effective Therapy

Skybound Pediatric Therapy is part of a well respected pediatric therapy network. Skybound along with sister companies, Early Bird Therapy and Growing in Motion, maintains a culture of learning and growing.

Our therapists are all lifelong learners. Our company is committed to providing support to our therapists’ growth through continual mentorship and training to our therapists. We hold conferences and online trainings on current best practice.

With better training, our therapists are more skilled. This lends to better therapy and better outcomes for the children.

We also want to ensure that the students are engaged and hopefully enjoying therapy! Our therapists are specifically trained in play therapy techniques to engage children. When children are engaged in therapy, it’s more effective and it’s more fun!
