How Online Speech Therapy Works: A Parent's Guide
Online speech therapy, also known as teletherapy, has become an increasingly popular and effective way to deliver speech-language services. Here's what you need to know as a parent.
What to Expect in a Session
Online speech therapy sessions are conducted through a secure video platform. Your child will interact with their therapist using engaging digital activities, games, and exercises designed to target their specific goals.
Benefits of Online Therapy
- No travel time — sessions happen from the comfort of home
- Flexible scheduling that works around your family's routine
- Children often feel more comfortable in their own environment
- Parents can easily observe and participate in sessions
Is It Effective?
Research consistently shows that online speech therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy for most speech and language goals. The key is working with a qualified, licensed speech-language pathologist who knows how to engage children in a virtual setting.
