Let’s face it: many people today struggle to fit everything in to their busy schedule, week to week. They have a full time job, kids to care for and countless errands that need to be done. For those who wish to receive voice therapy or voice/speech training; trying to find the time to make it to their speech therapist’s office can be a daunting task!
This is where telepractice can make your life easier! Telepractice involves meeting with your therapist online to receive services. Today’s technology insures that you will be able to hear and see your therapist as easily as you would in person, and they you. Research has shown the efficacy of speech services is no less than receiving services in person. You can read more about that here: Telepractice Delivery Model
