Telehealth

Sometimes clients cannot attend the clinic because they live remotely or have difficulty accessing the clinic for other reasons. Speechling offers sessions via Telehealth in these cases. We are fully equipped with tools and strategies to conduct engaging sessions online for our clients.

Speechling uses Microsoft Teams and can help with setup if needed.
