About Teletherapy

Teletherapy is a face-to-face service delivery model that allows a therapist to reach students who need therapy services but don’t have access to traditional onsite therapy. Therapy is provided via 2-way, live video conferencing. E-Therapy provides credentialed therapists that are experienced in their field and passionate about what they do. Our clinicians connect with students over the internet using a dynamic online platform. Students see their therapist face-to-face over the computer in real time during therapy sessions. The therapists are trained to utilize engaging and motivating online tools to target the students individual therapy goals.

Not at all. All you need to work with E-Therapy is a regular desktop or laptop computer with a webcam and a good internet connection. We suggest a private, quiet location with good lighting as well.

Research has shown that teletherapy can be as effective as traditional in-person therapy. In fact, some studies have shown that the teletherapy service delivery model can be a better model for some students, based on their particular needs. We live in a digital age, and students are very comfortable using technology. Students who work with E-Therapy typically make good progress and enjoy their online sessions. This progress can be easily tracked and accessed by school administrative teams within E-Therapy’s teletherapy platform.

We find that students respond positively and are immediately engaged. Students currently learn and live in the digital age. They easily adapt to technology and enjoy using it. E-Therapy provides a dynamic online platform that keeps students motivated and engaged while making progress toward their therapy goals.

  1. EXTENDED STAFF & ACCESS TO EXPERIENCED AND COMPASSIONATE THERAPISTS: E-Therapy provides online therapy services by experienced clinicians. Our therapists use dynamic and motivating teletherapy techniques to help students make progress toward their therapy goals.
  2. ASSISTANCE WITH COMPLIANCE COVERAGE: Federal guidelines mandate that students with disabilities receive the services they need according to their IEP, and many schools do not have enough therapists to fill this need. E-Therapy can fill the gap in services so that your school can maintain compliance.
  3. RESOURCE REACH EXTENSION: E-Therapy becomes a virtual partner to our schools. We provide comprehensive therapy services in a flexible format that fits your model, enabling your school to reach all students in need.

Our easy to use and streamlined tracking and monitoring system enables easy to access real-time data, reports, and billing.

Schools save in a number of ways:

  1. Schools are not on the hook for transportation reimbursement.
  2. E-Therapy services are typically Medicaid reimbursed (depending on the state).
  3. We also supplement services through supervision of SLPAs for speech services, so that schools can create larger groups of services.

We hear from customers daily that our commitment to customer service and quality of therapists sets us apart. For testimonials, check out the ones here on our website.
