Why would I opt for online speech therapy? Isn't that just going to add more screen time to their day?
First, I completely agree... kids are engaging in enormous amounts of screen time... so how do we manage this? How much is too much? Do I not simplify my life with online learning because I am worried about screen time?
1. Quality
This days we can find anything from services to goods to information online. The internet and the ease it brings to our lives isn't going way. Managing time online is hard for children and adults alike. It's not just about time in front of the screens... it's about the type of time in front of the screen.
Online speech therapy is quality online learning time.
2. Interactive
Teletherapy is not about sitting passively while information is poured over them. Telepractice is about being actively engaged with your speech pathologist. It's about having social interaction with another person online face to face using a computer as a vehicle. They will practice their exercises and address their goals through games, drawing, singing, reading, and more.
3. Zero Mom Guilt
Online speech therapy is convenient and flexible. No stress... no traveling, no traffic, or rushing from one place to the next... no overstimulation... Since there's zero stress... your child is ready to learn... They are excited that they get to use technology to learn... Bonus...
