Special Therapist Skills NeededThis is not typical speech therapy. Voice & Swallowing Center specialists are among the most skilled and experienced in telepractice and coaching services. The voice specialists at the Voice & Swallowing Center of Maine are experienced working with individuals with voice disorders and with professional speakers in major corporations. Effectiveness of TelepracticeA large number of studies have been conducted to determine if speech telepractice provided through computers is as effective as face-to-face. When properly used, often the results are better when skilled, experienced speech language pathologists are used. Getting StartedIf you have been seen by a doctor and diagnosed with a voice or swallowing disorder, a visit to the Voice and Swallowing Center may required for complete voice evaluation before considering telepractice. Sometimes a complete evaluation has been done at another facility and that may be adequate to get started.
CostThe cost is no more than traditional "in the clinic" therapy. Insurance companies will pay for telepractice, if it would normally be covered onsite. When the savings associated with eliminating travel to therapy and the ability to access skilled voice therapists are considered, telepractice is a good value.
