Teletherapy is the latest addition to the field of speech therapy. It has gained popularity in recent years. It is an innovative service delivery, helping to reach people in remote areas or people who find it difficult to attend face-to-face sessions.
Teletherapy was approved by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) as an appropriate method of service delivery in 2005, stating that "tele-practice is an appropriate service delivery model for the speech-language pathology [and audiology] professions. Telepractice can be used to overcome barriers to accessing services caused by distance, unavailability of specialists and/or subspecialists and decreased mobility".
ASHA defines tele-practice as "the application of telecommunications technology for the provision of professional services at a distance by linking doctor to client, or doctor to doctor, for assessment, intervention and/or consultation". Telepractice generally occurs in real time and "face to face" with a therapist via online video conferencing.
Due to the difficulties we are experiencing in these months with the threat of coronavirus, we have managed to implement online therapy services for our patients especially to not lose the progress we have made so far and to give continuity to the therapeutic processes.
Children participate in real-time activities that provide fun, interactive interactions for them. The session can be recorded and then viewed by parents to stay involved in their child's progress.
It should be mentioned that some users may not benefit from teletherapy in the same way as face-to-face therapy, so it is necessary to assess whether it is an effective method for each person according to their individual characteristics.
If you are interested in having us bring these sessions to your home, do not hesitate to contact us!
