Supporting Schools
At TeleTalk, we are a team of certified and experienced Speech Language Pathologists dedicated to student success. Our therapists bring specialized expertise and innovative techniques to the virtual environment, ensuring the highest standard of care. Let's talk about how we can support you.
Our teletherapy team ensures that all students, even in the most remote areas of Alaska, receive consistent support they need without the interruptions that come with travel. This consistent access means that SLPs can work more closely with teachers and support staff, offering real-time guidance and collaboration to better support students.
Accessibility and Support
Communication and connection are at the core of our mission. Our team is dedicated to understanding and incorporating local culture and community into sessions, supporting students to not only develop strong communication skills but also deepen their connection to their heritage and community.
Culture and Community
Consistency
TeleTalk's virtual service model improves the consistency of therapy services. This stability allows for uninterrupted, scheduled sessions, ensuring that students receive regular and personalized attention. Students can benefit from a more predictable therapy schedule, leading to better outcomes for students as their therapy becomes more integrated into their daily routines.
Collaboration
With fewer logistical challenges, SLPs can work closely with teachers and support staff, offering real-time guidance and resources. This close partnership enables teachers to better support students and reinforces speech and language goals throughout the school day, resulting in a more cohesive approach to student development.
