Teletherapy: How Virtual Speech Therapy Works

What is Teletherapy?

Teletherapy is simply therapy conducted via video conferencing. Through secure video platforms, clients and therapists connect online, allowing therapy sessions to happen in real-time without requiring an in-office visit.

Benefits of Teletherapy

1. Convenience: No need to travel. Sessions can take place from the comfort of home, saving time and making it easier for clients to maintain a consistent schedule.

2. Access to Specialists: Teletherapy enables clients to work with specialized therapists who may not be available locally. This is especially helpful for those in rural areas or smaller towns.

3. Comfort in Familiar Environments: Many clients, particularly children, feel more relaxed and focused when they're in their own space, which can improve engagement and progress.

4. Consistency During Illness or Travel: Teletherapy offers a way to keep sessions consistent even when in-person visits aren't possible, ensuring continuity in therapy goals.

What to Expect in a Teletherapy Session

Just like an in-person session, a teletherapy session includes activities and exercises tailored to the client's goals. Therapists may use digital tools like interactive games, digital flashcards, and visual aids to make sessions engaging and effective. Each session concludes with feedback and guidance for practice between sessions.

Is Teletherapy Effective?

Research supports that teletherapy is highly effective for many speech and language disorders. With good internet connectivity, a dedicated space, and a supportive environment, clients can make significant progress through virtual sessions.
