PBIS Arizona

What PBIS Arizona does

PBIS Arizona is a therapist-owned and managed services company founded in 2011 as part of the Eleutheria group of companies, operating exclusively within the Arizona market. The company provides special education staffing, professional development, clinic-based therapy, and achievement tutoring services to Arizona school districts, charter schools, and pediatric/adult clinical clients. It is co-owned and operated by Dr. Katie Sprouls, PhD, NCSP (certified school psychologist, professional development specialist, and yoga instructor) and Terri Chace, MS-CCCSLP (Licensed Speech Language Pathologist), who collectively founded multiple related entities including Eleutheria Special Education Services (2007), The Wellness Center (2011), Estrella Day School (2018), and Eureka Wellness (2022). Operations are based at The Wellness Center, 13385 West McDowell Road, Goodyear, AZ 85395, which also serves as the clinic for pediatric and adult therapy services.

The company's core technology is the PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports) framework — a prevention-based, data-driven school-wide system for behavior support and academic instruction. Service offerings span four lines: (1) school-based special education staffing delivering SLPs, OTs, PTs, school psychologists, counselors, special education teachers, and compliance staff to districts and charter schools on full-time, temporary, virtual, or onsite placements; (2) PBIS training packages and workshops covering multi-tiered behavior intervention, trauma-informed practices, Functional Behavior Assessment, and special education compliance (IDEA, IEP essentials), delivered in school-based, district, and train-the-trainer models; (3) clinic-based speech, occupational, and physical therapy for children and adults at The Wellness Center; and (4) an ADE-approved Achievement Tutoring Program providing in-person and virtual reading, writing, and math tutoring.

PBIS Arizona operates a professional services revenue model with quote-based, not-publicly-disclosed pricing. School staffing is delivered under contract (full-time and temporary placements); clinic services bill through Private Insurance, DDD, AHCCCS, Medicare Part B, ESA, Health Savings Accounts, credit cards, and self-pay; PBIS training packages are sold as multi-year contracts with quarterly workshops, technical assistance, coaching, and data systems support; and tutoring is delivered per session. Distribution relies on direct outreach, website-driven service requests, the Workstream hiring platform, and membership in the 1 GPA procurement alliance for Educational Training, Development and Enrichment Providers. The company holds ADE Approved Vendor status for both Achievement Tutoring and Educational Training, Development and Enrichment Provider categories, formalizing its standing for Arizona public-school procurement.
