Therapy doesn’t always have to happen in the clinic. Therapy Innovations offers teletherapy services for families across North Carolina who are looking for a flexible, convenient way to connect with one of our therapists from home, school, or another familiar setting.
Teletherapy uses secure, live video conferencing to allow families to work directly with a licensed therapist in real time. Depending on your child’s needs and goals, teletherapy may be used for speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, caregiver coaching, consultation, home-program support, and other specialized services.
For some children, teletherapy can be especially helpful because the therapist is able to see your child in their natural environment and help problem-solve real-life routines as they happen. A session might focus on communication at home, practicing a motor activity using items already available in your space, sensory or daily-living strategies, positioning and movement, or coaching caregivers on ways to support skills between sessions.
Could Teletherapy Be a Good Fit?
Teletherapy may be a great option for families who:
- Live farther away from one of our clinics
- Have difficulty fitting in-person appointments into a busy schedule
- Want additional support between traditional therapy sessions
- Need help with skills that are difficult to carry over at home
- Would benefit from caregiver coaching in their own environment
- Are looking for access to a therapist with a particular specialty
- Prefer the convenience of receiving support from home
Teletherapy can be used as a stand-alone service or as an additional layer of support alongside in-person therapy, depending on the child and family’s goals.
Speech, Occupational & Physical Therapy
Speech-Language Therapy may address communication, language development, articulation, AAC, social communication, literacy, caregiver coaching, and other functional communication needs.
Occupational Therapy may focus on sensory strategies, fine motor skills, handwriting, daily routines, dressing, self-care, home participation, caregiver education, and environmental modifications.
Physical Therapy may include caregiver coaching, home exercise programs, positioning, strength and mobility activities, gross motor development, and strategies for helping children participate more successfully in everyday routines.
Not every child or goal is best suited for teletherapy. Our team can help families determine whether virtual services are an appropriate option and what type of support may be most beneficial.
Private-Pay Service
Teletherapy services offered through Therapy Innovations are private-pay services and are not billed through insurance. This allows families greater flexibility in selecting services based on their goals, needs, and preferred frequency of support.
Sometimes the best therapy happens when we can meet families right where life is happening!
