We are diversified in services, so we stay overwhelmingly busy year round, but the services in demand vary. For example, independent therapeutic services lower in the summer, higher the rest of the year. Party events fluctuate around different school schedules, and major events. Research services are slowest late November through January. Online services are pretty steady year round. Individual training services tend to drop around other school quarter/semester finals periods, and drop during winter holiday season from late November through January 1st (though people sign up during these times, they often don't start taking their courses until first week of January). While employer paid training services often peak around their fiscal year final quarter if they have "extra" money to pay for employees additional training vouchers, especially government agencies, and those other organizations that need to "spend everything to avoid cutbacks next year". Volunteer and community services are pretty steady year round, though highest peak during summer months.
