Teletherapy is a convenient way to access speech-language pathology services. It can be done from the comfort of your own home or any location with internet access. It involves using video conferencing technology to connect with your Speech-Language Pathologist in real-time. With teletherapy, you can receive the same high-quality services that you would in-person. However, there is no need to travel to a clinic.
It is convenient for families. It provides greater flexibility in terms of scheduling and allows for greater accessibility. Teletherapy eliminates travel, time and location constraints as well as offers appointments during times that work best for your family. This may be beneficial for those who live in rural areas, have mobility issues or chronic health conditions that make traveling difficult.
It may offer families the potential to save on costs incurred by attending sessions in person, including travel expenses, parking costs and time off of work.
Teletherapy provides an element of comfort, allowing for a quiet comfortable setting at home which may decrease stress and anxiety, and may lead to more talking, more learning and increased generalization of skills.
Research studies have shown that online speech language therapy is as effective as traditional in-person therapy.
