Connect Teletherapy, an established, licensed provider of speech and occupational therapy for K-12 students, has expanded their online therapy offerings to help parents cope with their children’s needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has closed schools nationwide. As the media has reported, millions of families are struggling to support children with special education needs during this period of social isolation. “Children with special needs need to have consistent therapy services in order to maintain their skills,” said Melissa Ramirez, founder and speech therapist at Connect Teletherapy. Connect is able to keep students on their Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), a critical factor in delivering effective special education services.
