Teletherapy for schools
Virtual speech therapy for schools
You've posted the speech-language pathologist job twice and nobody has applied. The students on that caseload still have IEP minutes. Teletherapy puts a licensed speech-language pathologist on your caseload by live video, so services can start while the search goes on.
KL Therapy Services provides virtual speech therapy for public, charter, and private schools and preschools anywhere in the United States. Virtual roles can usually be filled quickly, and every therapist we place holds the ASHA CCC-SLP and a license in the state where your students are.
When schools choose teletherapy
- A rural or remote school can't find an SLP who lives close enough.
- A position opens mid-year or a leave comes up suddenly.
- A therapist serves several buildings and the drive eats the schedule.
- The team needs a few extra hours a week for therapy or paperwork.
Teletherapy isn't the answer for every student or every school. When on-site services are a better fit, we can look for an SLP who will work on site, or set up a hybrid schedule.
What your school provides
Four things. That's it.
A device
A computer or tablet with a camera.
A headset
So the student can hear and be heard.
A quiet space
A spot where the session can run without interruptions.
We'll go over the setup with your team before the first session, so the first week is about students rather than troubleshooting.
What our virtual therapists do
- Individual and small-group therapy on the IEP schedule
- IEP meetings, annual reviews, and eligibility meetings by video
- Case-manager work: IEP writing, timelines, progress reports, and family communication
- Consultation with teachers and staff
Every therapist we place holds the ASHA CCC-SLP and a license in the state where your students are.
Virtual evaluations
The therapist contracted with your school does every part of a virtual evaluation, from the testing to the report to the meeting. We'll plan each evaluation with your team and pick the assessments that fit the student.
Your platform, your records
Sessions run on the platform your district has already approved. That's often Zoom, and sometimes Google Meet. Student records stay in your school's systems and follow your FERPA policies.
Worried about teletherapy?
A lot of teams are, at first. Tell us what concerns you, whether it's younger students, attention, or how the work fits your building, and we'll work through it with you before anything starts.
We've been serving Virginia schools since 2022, and we're glad to talk through what's worked.

Questions schools ask
Is teletherapy as effective as in person?
For many students, yes, when it's delivered by a qualified clinician with the right setup. When it isn't the right fit for a student, we'll say so.
How fast can you start?
Virtual roles can usually be filled quickly. Tell us the caseload and the start date, and we'll tell you honestly what to expect.
Can we start with teletherapy and move to on site later?
Often, yes. Tell us what you need now and what you're hoping for next year, and we'll plan for both.
What does our school need to provide?
An adult nearby for younger students, a computer or tablet with a camera, a headset, and a quiet space. We'll go over the setup with your team before the first session.
Which video platform do you use?
The one your district has already approved. That's often Zoom, and sometimes Google Meet. Student records stay in your school's systems and follow your FERPA policies.
What credentials do your virtual therapists hold?
Every therapist we place holds the ASHA CCC-SLP and a license in the state where your students are.
Can a virtual therapist go to IEP meetings and write IEPs?
Yes. Our virtual therapists attend IEP, annual review, and eligibility meetings by video, and they can take on case-manager work such as IEP writing, timelines, progress reports, and family communication.
