What are the benefits of tele-practice?Telepractice or teletherapy has been shown to be just as effective as in-person speech therapy for many children. Teletherapy is convenient and encourages family participation. Online sessions are carried out in a very similar way to in-person sessions. We make these sessions fun and engaging by using digital strategies and live parent feedback and coaching.

Did I cause my child to have speech and language difficulties?No! Parents or caregivers are not responsible for speech or language disorders. These are developmental in nature. With intervention, speech and language disorders are very treatable. In order to make faster progress, your child’s intervention will involve parent/caregiver participation regularly as you apply the learned strategies in your daily routines.
