Soliant's tele-medicine division is catching on like fire! It's been a bit of a process to educate the public on the advantages of this new model for delivering Speech services to school children across the country. More and more districts are using this service to complete their therapy teams. Soliant's sister company, VocoVision, has an excellent staff that has introduced the concept, educated both the school therapy teams and the Speech Pathologists, and then delivered whatever hardware, software and training is necessary.
What circumstances are most common and useful for tele-speech delivery? Just to name a few: emergency situations where an SLP leaves a position unexpectedly; jobs that have too few hours to make it worth one's time to travel to the school to deliver services; a difficult requirement such as a bilingual therapist or one who can also sign; a remote area of the state where housing might not be available; and a myriad of other circumstances.
If you are an SLP with ASHA certification, are reasonably tech savvy, have a computer under 5 years old and can work independently, you might want to check out this option for a future contract position. In addition, you need to hold an active license/certification in the state where you reside and also in the state where the student is being served.
Some states with available tele-therapy jobs now are CA, MN, IL and UT. Call me for information or drop me an email, and I'll be glad to send you additional information about how to get set up for a tele-therapy contract now!
