“We are so happy to be able to continue Sammie's speech therapy during this time of social distancing. She has continued to progress with the teletherapy, and she loves to get to spend the virtual time with Cara. It has been a great addition to her weekly routine (and a needed break from her siblings), and we have seen her sounds continue to strengthen over the past couple of weeks. We really appreciate that Communication Interventions has worked to continue to provide this service for our family. Thanks so much!”

“While we were grateful that our local schools took extra precautions in keeping our little ones safe during this unprecedented time, one of my biggest concerns was how our daughter would continue with her therapies. She has made significant progress with Leslie and we didn't want her to regress. Fortunately, Leslie contacted me about the telehealth option. I wasn't sure how it would go, but Ruby LOVES it! She picked up right where she left off, and seeing Leslie on the screen is the highlight of her day! She even looks for her while I'm on my own Zoom meetings, gesturing "Wheels On the Bus" to everyone on the screen. The greatest part is that our whole family joins in on the session, allowing us to learn how to continue working with her in between her sessions. I highly recommend utilizing the telehealth option to continue your little one's therapy sessions. It's been a wonderful experience for our family!!”

“I was skeptical about teletherapy at first because it was so foreign to me, but after just one session, I realized how happy I was to be able to have this service for a few reasons.

1. It’s teaching me further how to do the therapy by myself at home.

2. Scheduled teletherapy sessions hold me accountable to making sure my daughter is still getting the therapy she needs. It’s easy to be distracted by her sibling or taking care of everything else in our house.

3. I get to know my daughter’s therapists on a deeper level, because usually I never have face-to-face time with them the way she does.

4. Teletherapy is also a nice break in the monotony that has become our life during the quarantine!”

“We appreciate you making yourself available for teletherapy. We believe it’s beneficial for our son to maintain continuity in his support system while everything else is uncertain. The transition to remote learning, while well orchestrated by his school, has been highly disruptive. A lack of social interaction and anxiety about the health of our community creates stress for everybody in our household. As parents, we feel taxed, and our children feel our stress too. With all that going on, it’s very helpful to have somebody who knows and cares about our son checking in on him weekly and sharing coping strategies with us. Thanks for all you’re doing.”

“Teletherapy has been a great experience for my child. With the upheaval of the rest of his academics, it's valuable to have that one-on-one time with his therapists. He is making as much progress as he does during the year with his in-person sessions because his therapists are adept at using the technology; they share their screens and use the whiteboard so my child understands the concepts. Teletherapy is a crucial part of his remote learning. “

“I was relieved to continue speech class for my daughter. My almost 5 year old daughter was happy to see Ms. Susan and the content was engaging and a fun game my daughter didn’t realize she was learning. It was nice to maintain continuity in the midst of uncertainty.”

-J.G.

“Teletherapy has worked great for us. My son has no complaints. Susan is amazing so I’m so glad we were able to continue her tutoring sessions. I would even consider this in the future if we had logistical challenges.”

-D.B.

“I have been surprised at how easily teletherapy has been conducted. Gracie is excited to log on and see Cara. They spend quality time together and have a lot of fun. It has been very effective so far and allows Gracie to continue practicing and making progress on her “r” sounds.”
