The ability to communicate is one of life’s greatest gifts. At The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh, we are happy to assist even more school-aged children improve these skills by offering Speech Language Teleservices for the 2023–24 academic year.

These services are designed to help school districts across Pennsylvania fill the gaps within their current Speech Language program by providing access to trained, licensed, and certified speech language therapists.

Our experts will provide virtual therapy throughout the day at times that are convenient for both teachers and students. By utilizing these teleservices, school districts will benefit from effective, flexible, and affordable options that best meet the needs of their students.
 

Over the past few years, students have experienced more developmental delays from loss of learning and social interactions due to the impact of the pandemic. Teleservices eliminate traditional barriers by providing schools and students with access to important Speech Language therapies via a computer or mobile device.

The shortage of speech language therapists has presented schools with a challenging hiring landscape. Our teleservices eliminate those staffing challenges by providing remote access to highly trained experts.
