Reaching More Students Effectively and Affordably

In the face of a national shortage of speech therapists, many schools are struggling to meet student needs and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requirements. Connections Learning addresses those challenges by providing you with a team of highly trained, licensed speech therapists available to your school through a cutting-edge “telepractice” approach endorsed by ASHA.^†

Our Experts Say...

“I’ve been meeting Stephen, a kindergarten student in Ohio, online for one-on-one therapy for several months now. His mother watches each session and observes the specific techniques I use to help her son communicate. At the end of each session, I review those techniques, answer questions, and follow-up with a Web Mail^® message to his mom describing how to apply the techniques during their daily activities. Thanks to our one-on-one sessions and his mother’s efforts, Stephen is making tangible progress.”

^†Telepractice may be used to overcome barriers of access to services caused by distance, unavailability of specialists and/or subspecialists, and impaired mobility. Telepractice offers the potential to extend clinical services to remote, rural, and underserved populations, and to culturally and linguistically diverse populations.
