As one of the leading Non-Public Agencies (NPA), VHAP currently works with various school districts providing direct intensive intervention support for children.
Our professional staff can provide training and consultation support to school districts, agencies and home programs. We believe in a ‘train the trainers’ model which provides increased opportunity for professionals to develop and refine their learning and generalization to their own staff, various settings and individual needs of children.
