In another month it will be time for the “Back to School” song! The need for Speech and Language Pathologists in public and private schools is at an historic high right now. Connecticut Therapy Associates provides Telehealth therapy using FaceTime and Zoom. These days, Telehealth therapy has become the preferred style of speech and language therapy. Here are some of the reasons why:

1) Sessions are more convenient because there is no travel time…either to the office or back and forth from the classroom

2) Sessions can be shorter because they are more intense – this has been proven to be more effective for students to reach their goals and be released from services sooner than the historic twice a week for thirty minute sessions usually held in school

3) Sessions are individual – no wasted time while students “wait their turn” to participate because they are in a group

4) Sessions can easily be scheduled before or after school – even in the early evening depending on the child’s age

5) Parent communication is immediate directly with the Speech and Language Pathologist – there are no PPT meetings and no IEP. Therapy services are outlined after an initial meeting with your child and by the second session we are ready to go!

6) Therapy programs are individually tailored specifically for your child – fun homework is provided that is short, meaningful and provides the necessary carry over of new skills

7) Safety! COVID-19 is still around and remote sessions offer the safest option for your child

These are just a few important reasons to consider a preferable alternative for providing your child with speech and language therapy. Call today with any questions you may have or to discuss enrolling your child for the school year. We can help!
