What is Online Speech Therapy?

As defined by the American Speech and Hearing Association(ASHA), Speech Therapy Telepractice(Telespeech/Online Speech Therapy) is, "The application of telecommunications technology to deliver professional services at a distance by linking clinician to client, or clinician to clinician, for assessment, intervention, and/or consultation."- http://www.ASHA.org

TinyEYE has taken many of the well established ideas and activities for children's exercises and turned them into online interactive speech therapy games. Speech Therapy Telepractice allows our Speech-Language Pathologists to reach school districts who have difficulty providing speech and language services. You no longer need to buy speech therapy materials for your pediatric clients as our speech and language games target many of the specific communication disorders - even those for toddlers.

An SLP can create several different speech therapy activities on the fly such as a memory game that targets the "r" sound in the final position. The best part about Online Speech Therapy is that not only are the activties interactive and engaging, it's environmentally friendly (all games are online - no more costly speech therapy materials) and you can work from home or one location - no more driving!
