What is Speech Teletherapy?

A Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) is a healthcare professional who helps to diagnose, assess and treat students who have speech, language, and communication disorders.

Historically, SLPs were required to meet with their students in person to provide their services. However, thanks to advancements in telecommunication technology, SLPs are now able to work with students through online video sessions in a process known as online speech therapy or speech teletherapy.
