Students today use computers as part of their learning process, so the transition to receiving therapy on a computer is not a big adjustment. Because the therapy session is live and highly individualized, the benefits are even greater. As an added perk, sessions can be recorded and replayed for the student/parents/legal guardians providing opportunities for review, practice, feedback, and carry-over outside of the school environment.
- It’s cost effective.
- It’s fun, interactive, and allows kids to bond and forget about their worries.
- It allows easy assessment and analysis of progress in terms of speech and other social aspects such as ease of interaction.
- It’s a flexible system and can easily be incorporated into any school district.
- It’s convenient for the school, the teletherapists, and the parents since no travel is involved.
- It can be just as effective as face to face speech therapy.
