Telepractice, sometimes called teletherapy, is another way for children and families to participate in speech and language or auditory verbal therapy. Instead of meeting in person, the speech language pathologist and families use technology to do therapy.

At Mighty Voice, telepractice usually involves providing speech therapy over the internet. The speech language pathologist and family each have a computer with a camera and sound, and a high speed internet connection. We connect over a secure connection and can see and talk to each other. Sometimes we can combine telepractice with face to face therapy, depending on your geographical location.

Telepractice doesn’t work for all situations, but it can be a great fit for some families and situations. If you have a child who is deaf of hard of hearing and want them to listen and talk, telepractice might work well. In a listening and spoken language (auditory verbal) model, we know you are your child’s first and best teacher and my job is to partner with you to do that. In that case, coaching you through therapy over the internet might work well.

If you’re interested in finding out more about telepractice with Mighty Voice, or think it might be right for your family, please contact us. We’d love to hear from you.
