Can my child do it by him or herself?
 

Very young children generally need some help with each session, more at first and less later on.​  Older children and teenagers generally learn how to navigate the simple system and can work independently. 

Frequently asked questions

What is online speech therapy or teletherapy?

​

Its speech therapy just the same as if you came to my office or clinic.  The only difference is that our sessions take place online.  It offers flexibility and is more time efficient especially for those in rural areas far from service providers.  All the same resources and materials are available online.  

Do I need a doctor's prescription? 



For some insurances, yes.  For private pay, no.  We will work with your health care providers for all necessary forms.  â€‹

Can we work out appointments to fit my crazy work schedule? 

​

Yes!  we can arrange two sessions per week on slow weeks, and then go a few weeks without seeing each other.  We can do it once a month, twice a month, or more often based on what is needed to make progress, how much work the client does on their own (I give homework!), budget and time constraints.  

Are the sessions private? 

​

Yes!  our system is a secure, encrypted video conference and we use a secure email as well.  If you control the access on your end of the camera it will be private.  Our end of the camera and all your paperwork is kept confidential and secure.  

Can you provide this service through my child's school? 

​

Yes!  The school just needs to contact us find out how to make it happen! 

Can you help me with my accent?  

 

Yes!  Online therapy is ideal for the busy professional who wishes to succeed in all their verbal communication.  Are you a visiting professor?  an international businessperson? government employee?  If you wish to feel proud of your excellent english (its more than just knowing the words!), then accent reduction therapy is the final step to achieve that goal.  

what if I go on vacation or have to leave my home for an extended period?

​

We will customize your online appointments to fit your schedule.  The wonderful thing about teletherapy is that it takes place wherever you are if you use a laptop or have access to a private computer.  You can lay on the beach in Cancun and still keep up with your treatment program!  

How is privacy protected?

​

Online therapy should not take place over popular services  such as Skype or Google Chat.  These programs are not secure and do not protect the information traveling across their servers.  Our video conferencing and email programs are secure and ecrypted and comply with HIPAA.
