Hey hivers! I am back again with another Speech Therapy related content! This year has been all about transitioning and new adventures for me. After 4 years of working in a private clinic, I have decided to start my own private practice offering purely online speech therapy.
Licensed Speech-Language Pathologists do online speech therapy through the use of a computer, webcam, internet connection, and headset to provide speech therapy. It has been growing in popularity, especially during pandemic when face-to-face speech therapy was risky. Online speech therapy ensures that clients continue getting the therapy they need that is far safer and more convenient.
This post is to debunk some myths about online speech therapy:
MYTH: Online Speech therapy is limited to a few conditions.
💻Online Speech therapy can help many people with a wide range of communication concerns. This includes children with language disorders, stuttering, articulation concerns, autism, and more. It also caters to adults with aphasia, dysarthria, or voice concerns.
MYTH: Online Speech therapy is complicated as it requires technology.
💻All you need is an internet connection, a device with a camera, a headset with microphone and an e-mail address to communicate with your Speech therapist and access the video conferencing platform. The speech therapist can help you set-up the programs you need to prepare for the online sessions.
MYTH: The activities in online speech therapy are the same for everyone.
💻The first step to getting speech therapy is to go through Speech and Language Initial Evaluation. The purpose of evaluation is to get the baseline skills of the client and identify the areas of communication the client needs help with. The online speech therapist will target goals that are based on the client's concerns. It is personal and individualized.
MYTH: Online Speech therapy is not effective.
💻Studies show that online speech therapy is as effective as in-person therapy. We apply strategies and techniques using digital materials that are interactive and enriching for clients. We maintain the same level of care and quality of our services virtually.
MYTH: It is hard for the client's family to know if there is progress during the online session.
💻The online speech therapist provides verbal and written feedback. In online speech therapy, the family members have the option to sit beside the client. They will be able to observe the therapy sessions and witness the progress. Therefore, family involvement also increased.
MYTH: Online speech therapy is not secured.
💻We are HIPAA compliant and all client's data is secure and kept confidential. We make sure that files and recordings done during evaluation or therapy are only accessed by the team working with the client (when permitted by the client/family). Online speech therapy also provides privacy for clients who want to work comfortably and safely in their homes.
We launched a website as well!

Good luck with the new venture. Telemedicine is really taking off in Thailand too and speech therapy, with constant feedback and progress evaluation would appear to be a perfect fit for this medium.
My wife is a pediatric OT specialising in Autism, ADHD and LD and does consultations online but it's impossible to offer a treatment program as a lot of the therapy is of course, physical.
Best wishes once more and I await your progress reports with interest :-)
Yes, I think there are some limitations to what therapists can offer online so just really have to check eligible clients and as much as possible get family involved so they can assist us.
Thank you so much for the nice comment!

Seriously, you are an example to follow, very few of us get people with ethics and vocation of heart, you knew how to reinvent yourself to solve admirable.
Thank you so much for the kind words. :) I wonder if in your country, you have speech pathologists?
Here you will find good centers or clinics and psychologists in Caracas that perform treatment with Logopedia - Psychology of language. Personally I don't know any but there are in my country and I would like to know more about it.
ohhh,i see.that's interesting.
