Summary: Child's Play Therapy Services is a non-public agency (NPA) that provides Speech-Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists for school-based services that are identified on Individual Education Plans (IEP's) and 504 Plans.

Diablo Unified School District Human Resources, Student Services and Special Education continues to recruit and hire district employees.
