What is a SEIT?
SETTS (Special Education Teacher Support Services) and SEITs (Special Education Itinerant Teachers) both provide crucial support for students with disabilities but operate in different educational contexts and offer distinct services. SETTS primarily serves students in grades K-12 within the school setting, focusing on academic and cognitive development to help students succeed in their classrooms. SEITs work with preschool-aged children (ages three to five), supporting speech and language development, early learning readiness, and classroom participation.
SEITs deliver services at the child’s school, daycare, or private school. Their role involves both direct and indirect support: direct services include working directly with the child to enhance their cognitive and academic skills, while indirect services include collaborating with teachers and professionals to ensure the child’s needs are met effectively. Learn more about early childhood concepts.
SEIT services are often coordinated with speech-language therapy and structured language development services to support communication and school readiness.
How Can SEITs Help?
How Can SEITs Help?
SEITs are itinerant, meaning they travel to where the child receives education services. They assist in implementing Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals, supporting classroom participation, coordinating with therapists and parents, and reinforcing communication and learning strategies across settings. SEITs provide differentiated instruction and inclusion strategies to meet specific student needs.
Private pay SEIT services on Long Island typically range from $150–$185 per hour depending on provider experience and specialization, reflecting the specialized and personalized nature of their support for young learners with disabilities. Payment options include private pay and out-of-pocket expenses.
Push-In Support
Our SEITs (Special Education Itinerant Teachers) provide direct support in the classroom, addressing each child’s individual learning needs while promoting positive peer interactions. By working alongside teachers and classmates, SEITs help students apply strategies in real time, supporting consistent progress in communication, early literacy, and classroom routines. This includes reinforcing reading readiness through early childhood literacy intervention and targeted reading support services within the classroom.
Classroom Observations & Consultation
SEITs observe students in their natural classroom environment to better understand academic, social, and emotional strengths and challenges. We share actionable feedback with teachers and families, and collaborate on strategies that can be seamlessly integrated into the school day.
Small-Group & Whole-Class Workshops
Our team partners with schools to design customized workshop series that support students’ academic readiness, social-emotional growth, and peer relationships. These interactive workshops are tailored to meet the developmental and social needs of each class.
Professional Development for Teachers
We also offer professional learning for educators, providing practical, classroom-ready strategies to support diverse learners. Trainings are designed to reflect your school’s student dynamics and to strengthen both academic and social-emotional outcomes.
SEIT support frequently reinforces strategies used in speech-language therapy and early childhood literacy intervention to ensure consistency across environments.

Common situations include:

Disclaimer
Long Island Letters offers private pay SEIT work performed by special educators. These services are not reimbursable by the Long Island State Department of Education (CSDE). Long Island Letters also offers private at-school and at-camp professional support services by licensed professionals with expertise working with students exhibiting attentional, speech and language, and learning delays. The latter does not qualify for Long Island State Department of Education (CSDE) SEIT work, and these services cannot be used to justify support for Long Island State Department of Education (CSDE) SEIT services. Our private pay SEIT work is paid directly and weekly from the clients to the professional working with the student.
