COMMUNICATION IS KEY.

ETS has been providing speech/ language services to the Valley and surrounding areas since 2004. Since 1998, ETS founder and current president, Melissa Spiro (formerly Butler), has provided speech and language services to the public schools as a private contractor.

ETS prides itself on providing quality speech/ language services to public and charter schools in Phoenix and surrounding areas. ETS employs carefully screened speech/ language pathologists with full certification through the American Speech Language Association. All speech/ language pathology assistants have an associate’s degree from an accredited speech/ language pathology assistants program, or a bachelor’s degree from an accredited speech/ language pathology program and are licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services.

Each ETS employee is matched with a school based on the specific needs of the school and expertise of the supervising speech/ language pathologist. A minimum of 10% direct supervision for each speech/ language assistant is required by ASHA guidelines; however, supervision time is adjusted based on the needs of the school should more supervision be necessary.

ETS offers a speech-assistant-service delivery model, which is a more cost effective alternative for schools. Speech/language assistants provide all speech/ language therapy while a certified speech/language pathologist provides supervision, makes treatment decisions, attends meetings, conducts evaluations, and does all IEP related paperwork. Therefore, by using an assistant you will save a significant amount of money while meeting state and federal guidelines.
