What is Telepractice?

Speech-Language Pathologists have used telepractice for decades prior to COVID-19. Research shows that telepractice is just as effective as in person treatment.

What environment is best for telepractice

Please pick an environment that is quiet, private, distraction free. We ask that a parent or caregiver be present during sessions with young children.

Why choose telepractice

Telepractice is convenient! It allows for more flexibility with scheduling and eliminates the drive time. Telepractice allows for your child to be seen in the comfort of his or her own home. 

 

Roswell Speech Therapy uses a secure, HIPAA compliant video conferencing platform.
