SpeechBliss Therapy offers both virtual (teletherapy) and in-person services tailored to your needs.
Virtual (Teletherapy) Services
Services are provided over the internet through GoogleMeet. Virtual therapy services have unique pros including:
-
Cost savings: You won't have to drive anywhere, spend money on gas and time in the car, traveling back-and-forth. And, you probably won't be late.
-
Fewer cancelations: Minor illnesses, inclement weather, and public health events can't get in the way of therapy.
-
Learning opportunities: Your family can view and learn from sessions, which is great, especially if there's something they can be doing to help.
-
Flexibility: Virtual sessions allow for more scheduling flexibility, and can be held anywhere, even in the car!
How Do Virtual Sessions Work?
Everything you'll need:
-
A computer, tablet, or phone
-
The internet
How it works:
-
An invite will be sent to your email.
-
On the day of the session, you click on the link in your email; it automatically opens a browser window, and you click to join.
GoogleMeet does work best with Chrome as your browser but it's not required.
Teletherapy, or virtual services, can be a great option for many families. This article was written by an SLP who reviewed some of the research. CLICK HERE.
In-Person Services
Services are provided face-to-face in homes, day cares, schools, parks and wherever best fits your child and family's needs. Contact us to schedule an appointment. In-person services have unique pros including:
-
More therapeutic options: Some children respond better to certain types of cues and prompts in therapy, such as tactile cues. These cues can be difficult to provide in virtual therapy.
-
A clearer view: The SLP and child may need a very clear view of each others’ mouths in order to perform certain tasks such as moving the tongue for speech sounds or feeding. In-person therapy often gives better angles and clarity in viewing these movements.
-
No lag: The SLP will be 100% live with no lag or buffering. You won’t have to worry about internet connections.
-
Learning opportunities: Your family can sit in on, participate in, and learn from sessions, which is great, especially if there's something they can be doing to help.
-
Convenience: The therapy happens in your home or preferred location, on your schedule.
How Do In-Person Sessions Work?
Everything you'll need:
-
A designated, agreed-upon location and time for the therapist to meet you.
-
Any materials the therapist has suggested prior to the session. For example, the SLP may request that certain foods or utensils be available during a feeding session with a child.
How it works:
-
An appointment will be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance.
-
Your therapist will arrive at the agreed upon location to provide services.
