School-Based Contract Services

Through school based contract services, LifeScape brings care to many children right in their own schools. Our team of professionals can provide educational evaluation, consultation, and ongoing services at the request of school personnel. Services are provided from our centers in Sioux Falls and Rapid City, covering all of South Dakota and parts of surrounding states.

LifeScape’s therapists, educators, and psychologists are specially trained to help children reach their greatest potential. Our staff helps children catch up with peers on developmental milestones such as walking, talking, or feeding themselves.
