Who Benefits from Online Speech-Language Therapy Services?

Clients of many different skill levels and abilities may be candidates for online speech.  To determine if you are an appropriate candidate for telepractice, Your Personal SLP will first consult with you and complete an initial speech-language screening at no charge for up to 30-minutes!  The consultation and screening is mandatory, but there is no charge.  What is a consultation and screening?  A screening is when a SLP meets you, and briefly looks at your articulation, fluency, voice, and language skills (to determine if there is a need for further evaluation.)  Sometimes clients have questions about speech & language, but do not actually need therapy; just education regarding speech & language development!

Unless deemed unnecessary by the therapist, an evaluation is a part of our process for all clients.  During the consultation & screening process, the SLP will talk with you and make suggestions about whether or not an evaluation is necessary, based upon information that you shared  (such as previous speech therapy history, skill level, etc.)  Since we offer many types of evaluations, the SLP will then recommend which evaluation service is most appropriate to better understand your communication needs.

What if you need speech services, but are not a candidate for online speech?   Our SLP will refer you to another qualified ‘in-person’ SLP.  We will refer you to the directory of members in your State’s Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
