At Red Deer Speech Therapy, we understand that seeking speech therapy services can sometimes be challenging due to various factors like busy schedules, geographical location, or unprecedented situations like a global pandemic. To ensure our services are accessible to all who need them, we’re proud to offer Virtual Speech Therapy – an effective, convenient alternative to in-person sessions.
What is Virtual Speech Therapy?
Virtual Speech Therapy, often referred to as teletherapy, is a method of delivering speech-language pathology services remotely using telecommunication technology. It allows our speech-language pathologists to connect with clients in their own environment, offering a level of convenience and flexibility that traditional in-person therapy might not provide (ASHA, n.d.).
Who Can Benefit from Virtual Speech Therapy?
Virtual Speech Therapy is not limited by age or disorder type. It can be a viable option for children, adolescents, and adults requiring support with various speech and language concerns. This could include stuttering, Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), language delays, articulation disorders, and more. Our team is adept at creating engaging, interactive virtual sessions tailored to the unique needs of each client.
How Effective is Virtual Speech Therapy?
Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Virtual Speech Therapy. Clients receiving speech-language pathology services via teletherapy have shown comparable progress to those participating in traditional in-person therapy (ASHA, 2014). Our team is committed to ensuring each virtual session is as productive and beneficial as our in-person services.
