Not every school has a speech therapist and not all students with speech and hearing difficulties can make it to sessions with speech therapists. The answer is online speech therapy, and according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), the technique is growing. The Association approves of what is sometimes called “teletherapy” if it is the same as in-person therapy. To enable teletherapy/online therapy, high speed Internet and Webcams are needed. The method enables the therapist to work from home, office, school, or other locations in order to reach students who need help.
