What is telepractice speech therapy?
Telepractice speech therapy is live speech therapy—not pre-recorded—with a certified and highly qualified therapist conducted over our interactive and engaging video conference technology. In fact, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) recognizes teletherapy as a proven means to deliver effective speech therapy.
