Summary:
|
Communication Across Barriers s a non-public agency (NPA) that provides speech and language pathologists and speech and language pathologist assistance for school-based services that are identified on Individual Education Plans (IEP's). When Mt. Diablo Unified School District is not able to fill all open positions with district employees, the use of contract agencies is necessary to ensure that we are in compliance with state and federal law that governs special education. Communication Across Barriers is a company that is utilized to provide these services to ensure that all of our needed services are covered for the 2024-2025 school year. Mt.
