Ninety-five percent of therapists expect to be using remote therapy and digital assessment tools within the next five years.* Technology is disrupting modern therapy delivery and the benefits are tenfold. In this blog post, discover what teletherapy is and how a modern therapy platform like Kanga can help you reach more students, improve service delivery, and do more in less time.
What is teletherapy?
When discussing technology, conversation often tilts toward innovation replacing jobs or people. In teletherapy, occupational, speech-language, and psychotherapy sessions are conducted online with highly qualified, certified professionals. Technology emerges as an essential partner that streamlines administrative tasks and session preparation. It also provides desperately needed access to more students in more places who might not otherwise get support.
