Therapy Source, a provider of special education services and online therapy staffing, reported there may be an influx of students from Puerto Rico to the mainland US following the devastation of Hurricane Maria on the island.

“We don’t yet have a clear sense of how many families and students might be coming into some of the larger metropolitan areas, but the devastating effect of Hurricane Maria is already being felt in some Florida district schools,” said Joshua Cartagenova, co-owner and CEO of Therapy Source, a firm based in Plymouth Meeting, Pa.

Commercial flights have not yet resumed regular schedules, and it will likely be weeks before school districts have an idea of the impact, according to the company.

“Our hearts are with these students and their families,” Cartagenova said. “We know it’s important for the transition to be as seamless as possible, and are prepared to quickly respond to the staffing needs of these schools so that these displaced children can immediately resume their education.”
