At TeleSesh, we strive to provide a comprehensive approach that accommodates the unique needs of each child, ensuring they receive the most effective form of therapy.
To get started with TeleSesh, you will need a reliable internet connection and a device equipped with a camera and microphone—ideally a computer or tablet for the best interactive experience. We also recommend using headphones to help your child focus and ensure privacy during their sessions. Once you have these items set up in a quiet and comfortable space, you can sign up through our website. We’ll guide you through the process, including matching your child with a therapist who fits their specific needs.

What is teletherapy?
Teletherapy is the delivery of therapeutic services, such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and mental health counseling, through online platforms. It allows children to receive professional support in the comfort and safety of their own homes or through school settings as part of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). This modern approach not only provides flexibility and convenience for families but has also shown to effectively improve speech and language skills, motor abilities, and emotional well-being in children, making it a practical choice for those seeking accessible and effective therapy options.
Numerous studies have validated the effectiveness of teletherapy, confirming that it can be just as effective as in-person therapy across various disciplines, including speech therapy, occupational therapy, and mental health counseling. TeleSesh utilizes state-of-the-art teletherapy techniques to deliver personalized care that meets the specific needs of each child. This method not only ensures accessibility and convenience but also fosters significant improvements in communication skills, motor functions, and emotional health. By integrating innovative technologies and evidence-based practices, TeleSesh provides a robust platform for children to thrive and achieve their developmental goals.
