Light Street Special Education Solutions

What Light Street Special Education Solutions does

Light Street Special Education Solutions is a Baltimore, Maryland-headquartered B2B service provider that delivers special education staffing, programs, and clinical services to K-12 schools and school districts across 10 US states. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of LEARN Behavioral (Learn-it Systems, LLC), a multi-brand organization that, together with its subsidiaries, annually delivers over 1 million hours of services to more than 5,000 children. Light Street's core service offerings include Resource and Management Solutions, Telepractice, Compliance Review, Program Management, and Professional Development. The company layers two structured talent-development programs onto its service delivery: a 9-month Foundations Mentorship Program aimed at early-career clinicians and a 1-3 year Leadership Development Program designed to build an internal pipeline of clinical and operational leaders.

The company's underlying technology stack centers on a HIPAA-compliant telepractice/teletherapy platform that enables remote delivery of clinical services to school clients. The service model combines on-the-ground clinical staffing with remote delivery, supported by compliance review and program management functions that embed Light Street into district-level special education administration. Leadership is structured around state-level executive clinical roles (including an Arizona Executive Director of Clinical Support) and includes a dedicated Recruiting and Onboarding Specialist, reflecting an emphasis on workforce expansion across the multi-state footprint.

Light Street's business model is contract-based, with schools and school districts purchasing special education staffing and related services under multi-state engagements; pricing is customized to district needs and is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is sales-led with direct district engagement. As a subsidiary within the LEARN Behavioral family, Light Street's strategic and operational decisions are coordinated with the parent network rather than independently pursued, and individual subsidiary revenue, headcount, and funding data are not separately disclosed.
