W E E K L Y S E R I E S: Facts and Myths about teletherapy…

🥸MYTH BUSTER
“My child is too young.”

For young or non-verbal children, a different therapy model may be suggested. A parent coaching model is a therapy approach in which the SLP acts as a coach and offers specialized techniques, demonstrations, and education to the parents or caregivers. From this, a parent is able to take what is learned within the session and use it directly in the home environment. Early intervention is critical-never delay! 💖 These sessions can be catered to your needs. Upon consult, you will receive a questionnaire to determine what you need help with and the areas you would like to better understand. We can meet as frequent or infrequent as your needs require.
Ex) We see some families as infrequent as once a month just for extra support.

Virtual parent coaching is an excellent resource for language needs!

How can I help you and your child?

Is it truly vacation if you spend majority of everyone’s sleeping hours working on continuing Ed to specialize those skills? 😎+🧠+🏝= 🤓

Language learning can take place almost anywhere! 😎

Did you know that when we are teaching new language concepts for kids, we want to give them as much information as possible! More IS MORE! We call this “multimodal cueing.” Multimodal cueing simply means that when we present a spoken word to a child - we do so with visuals, movement, and text. This little clip is an example of something that we might put together for your own child to view before going to the pool. What words will you use the most? What are most meaningful and important to them at this time in their language learning journey? ❤️

One of the first things I’m typically asked when approached by a family considering services is concerning how the service costs can be covered.

Currently, The Happy Speech Studio and Telepractice is private pay only. While providing services covered by insurance may be something in my future, private pay can be an exciting and rewarding approach for certain families and clinicians! Insurance companies can pose quite the battle when trying to serve our children!

What are the benefits to private pay therapy? Here a just a few things to consider… Happy Friday 💖

🥸MYTH BUSTER
Virtual therapy is too much screen time.

-Limiting screen time for kids is an admirable and worthwhile goal in this digital age.
-it is important to emphasize that virtual therapy is not the same as just watching a show or playing a video game.
-Kids who are participating in speech teletherapy are actively engaging their brains, practicing their social skills and learning new techniques.
-unhealthy screen time from which you’d want to definitely limit for your kids is static, unengaging, and non educational as well as limits social interaction with others.

🥸MYTH
“Teletherapy is different (effectiveness) than in person speech services.”🥸

Short and sweet:
-ANY kind of Speech Therapy is done by a qualified Speech Therapist.
-Students are engaged via hands-on activities
Ex. digital games/activities are provided as well as opportunities to use home environment as appropriate.
-Kids and adults meet online, therefore, students are at home which can foster a sense of comfort and familiarity, making it easier to focus on treatment
-Socialization skills are exercised.
-parents have the opportunity to be more involved in every aspect of therapy if they choose
-decreases cancellations and no shows (no more snow days) 🤪☃️
