Therapy That Works with Your Life

❄️ Life Happens—But Therapy Can Still Happen!

Bad weather? Is someone in the family sick? Is your schedule too tight to make it to the clinic? Telehealth gives you options so your child can keep making progress—even when leaving the house is hard.

✅ Why Families Choose Telehealth:

• Consistent therapy, even when you can’t come in
• Stay warm and safe during winter storms
• No travel or traffic stress
• Real-life practice in your home routines
• Parent coaching helps you feel more confident
• Research shows telehealth works just as well as in-person therapy

What Does a Telehealth Session Look Like?

Child + Clinician Session
The therapist works directly with your child online. Fun, engaging activities using games, books, and movement. Best for kids who can follow some directions and stay focused on a screen.

Parent Coaching (with your child present)
The therapist coaches you while your child participates. You learn how to support skills during play, meals, or routines. Great for toddlers, early learners, or children needing more support.

Parent-Only Session
Just you and the therapist talk (your child doesn’t need to be there). Learn new strategies, ask questions, or talk through challenges. Perfect for behavior, feeding, or communication goals that happen during daily routines.

Bigger Gains at Home? Yes, It’s Possible!

Learning happens best where your child lives, plays, and eats. Telehealth happens in your home—so therapy connects directly to real life!

Skills learned at home are more likely to “stick.” When children practice new words, sounds, behaviors or movements in the places they use them most, they’re more likely to remember and use those skills naturally.

Parents become powerful partners in progress. You’ll learn tips and tools to support your child between sessions. This often leads to faster progress and more confidence at home.

Tips for a Smooth Session:

• Find a quiet space with few distractions
• Use a laptop or tablet if you can, but a phone can work in a pinch!
• Keep common toys or snacks nearby if your therapist recommends them
• Be ready to try something new—we’ll guide you every step of the way

Real Feedback from Families Like Yours:
