Updated: April 2020The seven million students who received special education services at school, from speech therapy to physical therapy to occupational therapy, are now at home. Their therapists have likely not been trained specifically in teletherapy. Thankfully, many on-site therapists are training with teletherapy companies like ours to learn how to deliver those services online, and are quickly getting up to speed.
