Online Speech Therapy (Telepractice)
Telepractice (also called teletherapy or virtual speech therapy) lets families meet their clinician on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You get the same assessment, treatment, and home-practice coaching as an in-clinic visit — without the commute. That matters for Vancouver-area families with packed schedules and for people in Victoria, Kelowna, Prince George, Kamloops, Nanaimo, and other BC communities with fewer local SLPs.
Sessions work on a computer, tablet, or phone with a camera and microphone. A quiet, well-lit space and headphones help. For children around age 3 and up, therapists use interactive materials and screen-sharing; a parent nearby is essential for younger children. Most plans that cover speech therapy also cover telepractice — we provide receipts that name the virtual delivery method.

FAQ
Common Questions
Is online speech therapy as effective as in person?
For many speech, language, fluency, and voice goals, telepractice matches in-person outcomes when the client can attend, see materials, and practice between sessions. Very young children or those with significant attention needs may start better in person.
Do you offer teletherapy across all of BC?
Yes. Our clinicians are licensed in British Columbia. Families from Victoria to northern and Interior communities can attend from home.
