Background & Mission

The Virtual Speech Room is a pediatric speech-language teletherapy private practice created to expand access to high-quality, evidence-based communication support for children and families. The practice was established to provide flexible, accessible services while maintaining a strong commitment to clinical excellence and individualized care.

Guided by evidence-based practice, integrity, flexibility, and child-centered care, The Virtual Speech Room values collaboration with families and adapts therapy to reflect the real-life communication demands children experience in their everyday environments. Services are thoughtfully tailored to each child's unique strengths and needs, with an emphasis on functional communication and meaningful progress.

Operating entirely through a virtual model, The Virtual Speech Room offers families convenient access to consistent, high-quality speech-language services across multiple states. Therapy is designed for children who are able to attend and actively participate in virtual sessions, ensuring that each session is engaging, focused, and effective.

Our Vision

The vision of The Virtual Speech Room is to provide accessible, high-quality telehealth speech-language services to families while growing into a trusted, recognizable virtual private practice known for individualized care and strong family partnerships.
