Behavioral Therapist Services

The Punxsutawney Area School District in Pennsylvania requires professional behavioral therapist services to support students, families, and school staff. The agency is attempting to reduce inappropriate student behaviors and office discipline referrals while increasing instructional time within the classroom. To solve these behavioral challenges, the selected provider must assess student needs, recommend interventions, and deliver research-based support directly within the school building. The scope of work involves establishing relationships of trust with staff, students, and parents while working independently without constant supervision. The agency requires personnel who can plan and organize their own work, remain receptive to training, and maintain strict confidentiality regarding all agency business, staff, and families. Physical requirements for the role include lifting and carrying objects over thirty pounds, standing or sitting for extended periods, operating office machines, and occasionally assisting in relocating office furniture. Eligible bidders must perform the work onshore within the United States, though the agency notes the performance of the work will be offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is actively looking for proposals to determine the cost of these services. The source document does not contain specific evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
