What is teletherapy? 

​

Teletherapy (also known as telepractice, telehealth or telemedicine) is a completely virtual mode of receiving your speech, voice or swallowing services. The American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA), endorses the teletherapy service delivery model for many people.
