All therapists have a team in which they are responsible for the needs of their students. Teams range from 12-16 students in each and have new students entering as current students graduate. In addition to supervision, therapists work with counselors who supervise students during their structured and unstructured times. Therapists also communicate with the academic staff to ensure that the care provided to students is well rounded.
Clinical Meetings
Staff evaluates students' progress in the program on a regular basis to ensure that treatment goals are being met. Should a student struggle or refuse to progress, the clinical meetings can be a place for collaborative care to occur. Many times new ideas and approaches for a student in need are born out of a clinical meeting with other experienced staff who have innovative ideas which may not have been tried yet. Clinical meeting is held at least once a week at each campus every week.

Provo Canyon School students and staff are diverse in culture, religion, ethics and socio-economic backgrounds. The school is committed to being as culturally competent as possible and works to accommodate any kinds of specific needs that a student may present. Furthermore, Provo Canyon celebrates different holidays, and traditions as a way of educating its students about people's unique qualities. At Provo Canyon School almost 21 different languages are spoken amongst the staff and students.
