Online Speech Therapy or Telepractice is the use of technology to provide therapy via high speed internet, webcam, headset with microphone or any other form of communication. Speech therapy online is a clinical arrangement where the patient and a certified speech therapist communicate and interact face-to-face over the Internet. Online Speech Therapy for Adults is customized and tailor made to suit your needs.

We’ve assisted a lot of adults with the following issues:

Stammering/Stuttering
Aphasia secondary to Stroke/Accidents
Parkinson’s Disease
Dementia
Voice Problems
Unclear Speech/Pronunciation
Accent Modification

This communication is of 3 types :

Pre-Session communication : It consists of collecting payments, booking appointments, sending booking confirmation, reminders and giving easy options to reschedule or cancel. Pre-Session communication is essential to maintain healthy relationship with clients by avoiding any confusions and also to ensure revenue coming in smoothly for your practice
Ongoing-Session communication : This primarily consists of video conferencing and other associated features that assist therapists in a therapy session. In traditional video conferencing solutions like Skype, the interactive features needed for speech therapists are not present. These also make it super difficult for clients to join sessions. Hence it is important to choose the correct video conferencing platform
Post-Session communication : After a session has been successfully completed, it is important to communicate what happened during the session, any followups needed, session recordings or materials used during the session. This is essential to improve client retention by keeping them apprised and up to date about their therapy progress. Session recordings are a key differentiator which give an edge to online therapy over offline therapy. Hence it is essential to ensure that your therapy platform supports session recordings and provides easy access to them.

Speech Therapy for Adults

It is highly effective for those who are looking for convenient flexible options. You can access these sessions from your home/office/college. It’s also a tremendous aid for adult carers who have to take their loved ones to local centres for therapy.

Speech Therapy online works just like speech therapy delivered in a centre/clinic. The only difference is that you will meet your therapist online. You’ll see the therapist on a large screen, and he or she will be able to view, talk to, and interact with you in real time. There are various exercises and techniques that can be done in speech therapy online sessions all of which will aid in improving your speech.
