Teletherapy

What is Teletherapy?

With teletherapy, consultations and therapy sessions are conducted remotely via a computer with high speed internet. Using secure live video chat, children are able to participate in a live, interactive therapy session, and parents are able to communicate privately with their child’s therapist.

We are dedicated to providing children with the highest quality therapy services available, and we understand that a traditional clinic atmosphere isn’t ideal for all patients. Modern technology now allows us to provide high quality treatment via teletherapy, and we have offered teletherapy services to our clients since 

How Does Teletherapy Work?

Teletherapy sessions are scheduled in advance at a convenient time. Once an appointment is scheduled, the family receives an email with a private link to access the virtual “treatment room”. By clicking the link, the family is connected with the therapist within seconds in a videoconference which is compliant with privacy standards for the child’s safety.

Who Can Benefit from Teletherapy?

A variety of circumstances can lead to a family choosing teletherapy over traditional clinic therapy. Following are a few scenarios in which a family might opt for teletherapy:

  • Homeschooling families or those with multiple children for whom it is difficult to schedule regular clinic sessions for a single child
  • Children who are ill, homebound or have compromised immune systems
  • Families who live too far to easily travel to a clinic multiple times per month or who have limited access to reliable transportation
  • Children who have anxiety or other needs who are more comfortable receiving treatment in a familiar setting
