Teletherapy Consulting and Contracting

I have experience providing speech and language services as well as reading and writing support via teletherapy to students ages 3-17 and am dedicated to ensuring that students with special education needs continue to receive high quality, evidence-based services during this challenging time.  I am available to consult and contract with public school districts and private schools who are looking into remote learning options for special education during this challenging public health crisis. I can also help private practice speech-language pathologists navigate teletherapy.

Here are some ways I can help schools and providers:
  • Choosing a teletherapy platform that meets the unique needs of special education teachers, speech-language pathologists, and related professionals
  • Helping schools prepare families for teletherapy services
  • Training special education staff (especially speech-language pathologists) in how to use teletherapy to effectively address IEP goals
  • Providing direct student services via teletherapy (CA & IL).
    • Licensed as a speech-language pathologist in California and Illinois
    • CA: CTC Speech-Language Pathology Services clear credential
    • IL: ISBE Professional Educator License in Speech-Language Pathology
    • ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP)
  • Providing information about resources available to families, teachers, and SLPs to support virtual learning
  • Connecting you with other resources and professionals who may be able help meet your needs if I do not have the answers!
