Partnership For Education

What Partnership For Education does

Partnership for Education is a privately-held therapeutic services provider operating as Family and Educational Consultants LLC from Kingston, New York, where it was founded in 1998 by director Claudia L. Stedge. The organization delivers individualized therapeutic interventions to children with disabilities and developmental delays across New York's Hudson Valley region, with a service portfolio spanning physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/language therapy, social work, psychological counseling, and special educational instruction. Some services are available in Spanish, and the practice is staffed by approximately six employees under the direction of the founder, who maintains principal control over the company's philosophy and operating practices.

The firm operates on a partnership-based care model that actively engages families, caregivers, and other professionals in each child's treatment, distinguishing it from transactional clinical delivery. Therapeutic approaches are explicitly grounded in current brain development research, with the stated intent of mitigating how disabilities and developmental delays affect learning. Core delivery consists of 1-to-1 sessions, supplemented by community playgroups and home-based activity resources for families; the organization adapted its delivery model during COVID-19 to preserve safety and continuity.

Revenue derives from fee-for-service therapeutic sessions on a professional-services basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed and may be covered by insurance or paid directly by families. The firm has no external institutional funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed financial scale metrics — consistent with its position as a small, independently-owned clinical practice anchored by the director's Columbia and Bank Street graduate credentials and multiple New York State certifications.

Broad incumbents

• Ivy Rehab for Kids: Multi-site outpatient pediatric therapy brand within the Ivy Rehab network, offering PT, OT, and speech therapy for children with developmental and neurological conditions. Comparable because it competes in the same pediatric rehabilitation category with similar payer-funded, multi-modality services.
• Easterseals: Large national nonprofit network providing pediatric therapy, special education, and disability services across many U.S. regions. Comparable because it delivers an overlapping suite of PT/OT/SLP and social services to children with disabilities, though at far greater scale and broader scope than Partnership for Education.
• Boston Children's Health Collaborative / Maria Fareri Children's Services: Larger pediatric rehabilitation and developmental services programs anchored to hospital systems in the Hudson Valley / Westchester region. Comparable because they deliver PT/OT/SLP and developmental therapy to children with disabilities that drive much of the referral market Partnership for Education serves.

Emerging players

• Autism Learning Partners: Multi-site provider of autism and developmental disability services including ABA, speech, and family support. Comparable given the Autism focus in Partnership for Education's leadership background and the shared family/caregiver engagement model.

Direct peers

• Achieve Beyond Pediatric Therapy & Autism Services: Multi-state pediatric therapy provider offering speech, occupational, and physical therapy plus autism and special-education services to children. Comparable because it sells an integrated multi-disciplinary therapy bundle to families of children with developmental delays, similar to Partnership for Education's service mix.
• Therapy Solutions for Kids: Independent pediatric therapy practice delivering OT, PT, speech, and feeding services to children with developmental delays and disabilities. Comparable as a similarly sized multi-disciplinary pediatric therapy clinic targeting families and referral sources in a defined region.

Regional players
