The Encompass Pediatric Therapy Team has been providing services exclusively through teletherapy since late March 2020. But what does that mean?

Parent Talks recently sat down with the team to learn more about teletherapy: what it looks like, how it differs from in-person sessions, the challenges, the benefits, and what therapists really want parents to know.

We were joined by the following therapists from our Clinic Team:

• Tiana Bennett, MS, CCC-SLP, Speech-Language Pathologist
• Lindsey Cooper, MA, CCC-SLP, Clinic Team Supervisor and Speech-Language Pathologist
• Becky DeCou, MS, CCC-SLP, Speech-Language Pathologist
• Ashley Egger, MS, CCC-SLP, Speech-Language Pathologist
• Ashley Fletcher, MSOTR/L, Occupational Therapist
• Grace Gonzalez, MEd, CCC-SLP, Speech-Language Pathologist
• Nicole Hale, PT, DPT, Physical Therapist
• Autumn Howard, MA, CCC-SLP, Speech-Language Pathologist
• Lisa Krejci, OTR/L, Occupational Therapist
• Kristin Milton, MS, CCC-SLP, Speech-Language Pathologist
