Is Online Speech Therapy Effective?

Online therapy or Telepractice is the mode of delivering therapy services through online video platforms. It has been widely used for over 20 years and there has been significant research supporting its effectiveness.

 

Is it effective?

Telepractice is an established standard of care that is proven to be even better than the traditional “tabletop” therapy (face-to-face sessions). There are several studies proving the effectiveness of online speech therapy, being just as effective, if not better than face-to-face.

 

Above features the results of a group of therapists at Waldo Country General Hospital (WCGH) in Maine, USA delivering speech therapy to approximately 150 children. Telepractice shows improved results than “tabletop” therapy. This study also showed high levels of satisfaction rates reported by teachers, helpers, parents and consistent with previously published reports (Towey, 2012).
