Virtual Speech Therapy for Schools

Speech telepractice for students in all 50 states,

Licensed speech-language pathologists deliver live therapy, assessments and IEP support through telepractice, so every student gets the support on their IEP.

Over 10 Years of Telepractice Experience

We've been providing speech therapy through telepractice for more than a decade, well before it became common in schools. Our therapists know how to keep students engaged on screen, partner with your on-site staff, and keep IEP services running smoothly.

  • Engaging, play-based sessions designed for the screen

  • Familiarity with school documentation systems and IEP timelines

  • We anticipate your needs and stay in constant communication with your school sites

Who We Serve

We partner with public districts, charter and private schools, and county offices of education across the country. Schools usually call us when:

  • An SLP position has gone unfilled for months

  • Caseloads are high and timelines are slipping

  • A therapist goes on leave mid-year

  • Sites are rural or spread out

  • Students need bilingual, AAC or fluency expertise

What the Research Says

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) recognizes telepractice as an appropriate way to deliver speech services, held to the same standard as in-person care.

In a study of 1,759 school-age children, students made comparable progress in speech sound therapy whether sessions were delivered by telepractice or in person. Similar results have been found for language, assessment and stuttering treatment.

  • No significant difference in progress

  • Reliable remote language assessment

  • Effective stuttering treatment by webcam

The Telepractice Journey

From First Call to First Session

Consultation

Tell us about your students, service minutes and timelines. We match you with a speech-language pathologist licensed in your state, with the specialties your students need.

Setup

We run a quick tech check, build a schedule around your bell times and testing windows, and confirm an on-site point person to help students log in.

Progress

Your SLP leads live sessions, documents every visit, reports progress and joins IEP meetings. We check in with your team regularly along the way.

Is Telepractice Right for Your Students?

We assess every student first, and we'll tell you honestly when in-person services are the better choice.

A great fit for students who…

  • Work on articulation, language, fluency or social communication

  • Can attend to a screen for 20 to 30 minutes, with support if needed

  • Have a quiet space and a staff member nearby

Better in person for students who…

  • Need hands-on support, like feeding or tactile cueing

  • Can't yet attend to a screen, even with an adult nearby

  • Have vision, hearing or equipment needs the technology can't meet
