Teletherapy

WHAT IS TELETHERAPY?

Teletherapy connects clients virtually to one of our specialized and credentialed Speech-Language Pathologists or Occupational Therapists through a secure, user-friendly, video conferencing platform.

The therapy services and goal implementation provided in teletherapy are similar to those provided in in-person therapy, but with activities tailored to a virtual environment.

HOW DOES TELEPRACTICE WORK?

Successful and efficient virtual therapy services simply require a connection to the internet using a device with a working microphone, speaker, and webcam.

Our innovative online platform is user-friendly, accessible by a variety of devices, and allows for a high level of interactivity through screen sharing, annotation, and more.

Virtual Therapy sessions can be done from anywhere provided that the client has a stable internet connection and a quiet environment in which to meet.  

IS TELETHERAPY EFFECTIVE?

Teletherapy is backed by an ever-growing body of academic research. In fact, well over 100 studies from accredited universities and research organizations have concluded that online therapy produces similar outcomes when compared to on-site therapy.

IS TELETHERAPY APPROVED?

Teletherapy is subject to the same requirements as in-person therapy (HIPAA, FERPA, COPPA, IDEA). Because teletherapy provides increased accessibility for clients to receive Speech-Language and Occupational Therapy, it has been endorsed by the following leading organizations:

• The American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA)
• The Stuttering Foundation
• The American Occupational Therapy
• Association (AOTA)
• The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)
• US Department of Health & Resources
• The International Board of Credentialing & Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES)
