Teletherapy vs. In Person Speech Therapy in Schools, Benefits, Challenges, and the Future of School Based Services For years, the debate around teletherapy versus in person speech therapy in schools has centered on one question, which is better? The reality is that this may be the wrong question. School districts across the country are struggling to recruit and retain speech language pathologists (SLPs). Caseloads continue to grow, compliance requirements are becoming more demanding, and students are waiting longer for services. At the same time, technology has transformed nearly every profession, including healthcare and education. Many therapists have embraced teletherapy as an effective way to provide high-quality services while improving access and flexibility. Yet some school districts remain hesitant to adopt it. Why is there such a difference in perspective? The answer lies in understanding the unique challenges each group faces.

Every parent looks forward to hearing their child's first words. Whether it is "mama," "dada," or the first complete sentence, these moments are exciting milestones that families remember forever. But when those milestones do not happen as expected, many parents begin to wonder if they should be concerned. It is common to hear advice such as, "Give it more time," or, "Every child develops differently."

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the way we work, learn, and deliver healthcare. While AI has become a common topic of discussion, its true potential in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology extends far beyond automation. Used thoughtfully, AI has the power to enhance clinical care, improve efficiency, expand access to services, and allow clinicians to focus on what matters most: helping people communicate. As with any new technology, there are questions and concerns. Will AI replace therapists? Will it make clinical decisions? Will technology diminish the human connection that is at the heart of rehabilitation? The answer should be no. The future of our professions is not about replacing Speech-Language Pathologists or Audiologists. It is about providing them with intelligent tools that support their expertise, reduce administrative burdens, and enhance the quality of care they provide.

For many children and adults receiving Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) or Occupational Therapy (OT) services, summer vacation and extended therapy breaks can lead to noticeable regression in communication, motor, sensory, cognitive, and social-emotional skills. While breaks are important for rest and family time, consistency remains critical for maintaining progress. As clinicians, one of the most valuable things we can do before a long break is equip families with realistic, functional strategies that can be embedded naturally into daily life. Therapy does not need to look like a structured clinic session at home to be effective. Small moments of intentional practice can make a significant difference
