What is teletherapy?
Teletherapy is the use of traditional face-to-face therapy techniques and activities through a live video connection via the internet. Teletherapy sessions are very similar to traditional therapy sessions with the one major exception being therapists and clients can interact with each other from anywhere an internet connection is available.
Is teletherapy as effective as on-site therapy?
For better or for worse, we are all living in a world increasingly defined by technology. With the rapid expansion of technology, teletherapy has expanded and will continue to expand right along side it. Kent State University researchers conducted a study comparing students who received traditional in-person therapy and those who participated in telepractice in public school settings. They concluded, “Students in both service models made significant improvements… with students in the telepractice group demonstrating a greater mastery of their Individual Education Plan (IEP) goals.”
