Telespeech Therapy Marks First Year in Business

Online speech therapy creates new opportunities for schools, students and SLP’s, publishes telespeechtherapy.com

Bakersfield, California – July 26, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —

Students across the nation have been guaranteed not only a free education, but the appropriate accommodations and support to help optimize the individual learning experience. This promise applies to all children regardless of their specific needs yet California and many other areas of the country are experiencing a deficit in available speech-language pathologists. Central California-based speech practice Telespeech Therapy was established to help foster educational goals and mitigate the current shortage among local school districts.

Speech-Language Pathologist and founder Christy Slayton, M.S., CCC-SLP recently celebrated the company’s first year in business. In regard to this milestone, Slayton affirmed, “Having a son requiring speech-language pathology services as well as a background in the field, I quickly realized there was an extensive need for additional resources in this sector. I decided to take action by forming Telespeech Therapy. We’re proud to have spent the last year offering our professional assistance and helping students find success. We hope to continue along these lines for decades to come.”

Founded in Bakersfield, California, Telespeech Therapy contracts primarily with school districts to provide highly qualified SLP’s for students in need of such services. Slayton’s personal and professional credentials in this arena combined with experience in special education administration render her distinctly qualified to further these efforts. While state and federal entities are involved in the allocation of resources for special needs children, Telespeech Therapy brings a unique element to the table for area students.

Through the use of teleconferencing technology, the company provides Online speech therapy services in California to those who need it, enabling students and professional SLP’s to connect face-to-face in real time. While the practice of Online speech therapy may be new to some, it has been incorporated into the industry for some time. Variations have also been implemented in the rehabilitation, medical and education sectors. In fact, numerous studies on such services back their effectiveness and support their use.

No restrictions or limitations on Online speech therapy for schools have been set by the California Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Licensing and Hearing Aide Dispensers Board. They are viewed as a method of delivery, and not an alternative form of practice.

A handful of pioneering companies have led the way and built large organizations providing speech and other rehabilitative services by telepractice. The owner of Telespeech Therapy recognizes these organizations for their accomplishments and commends them for providing much-needed resources; however, Telespeech Therapy prides itself on being small and personal. The business is focused on meeting the needs of its hometown and the surrounding communities in California. Slayton notes the company’s aim is to go the extra mile to provide a personal experience for each district as well as each SLP who becomes part of the team.
