We are thrilled to announce that WeThrive Learning has achieved a significant milestone—we are now recognized as a Non-Public Agency (NPA) in the state of California! This designation opens up new opportunities for us to support families and empower learners in even more impactful ways.
What is a Non-Public Agency (NPA)?
A Non-Public Agency (NPA) is an organization that meets specific standards set by the California Department of Education to provide special education and related services to students with unique learning needs. NPAs collaborate with public school districts to offer specialized support tailored to each student's Individualized Education Program (IEP). This certification ensures that services meet rigorous educational and therapeutic standards, ensuring high-quality student support.
What Does Being an NPA Mean for Families?
Access to Specialized Services: Families now have access to our specialized services through their public school districts. As an NPA, we can work directly with schools to provide individualized instruction and therapeutic services designed to meet the unique needs of each student.
Seamless Collaboration with Schools: Our NPA status allows for a more seamless collaboration with public schools. We can coordinate with teachers, school administrators, and other professionals to ensure a comprehensive support system for your child.
Enhanced Support for IEP Goals: If your child has an IEP, we can offer services specifically aligned with your child’s goals. Our team of educational therapists and ADHD student coaches will work closely with you and the school to develop and implement effective strategies that foster executive function skills.
Research on Student Improvement with NPA Support
Research consistently demonstrates that students working with NPAs show significant improvement in various areas:
Academic Performance: Studies have shown that students receiving services from NPAs experience notable improvements in academic performance. This is attributed to the tailored instructional strategies and individualized support NPAs provide, addressing each student's unique learning needs and promoting better engagement and understanding.
Behavioral and Social-Emotional Development: NPAs also positively affect students' behavioral and social-emotional development. With a focus on holistic support, NPAs help students develop better emotional regulation, social skills, and self-esteem, which are crucial for overall success in both academic and personal realms.
IEP Goal Achievement: Research indicates that students working with NPAs are more likely to meet their IEP goals. The specialized expertise and collaborative approach of NPAs ensure that interventions are effective and aligned with each student's specific objectives, leading to more successful outcomes.
