Schools

Currently, we are accepting new contracts and partnerships with school systems in Bucks and Montgomery Counties (in person or teletherapy), and throughout Pennsylvania via teletherapy. Listed below are specific services offered through Groovy Time Speech LLC.

Groovy Time Speech LLC employs qualified therapists who can promptly step in to assist districts in covering caseloads to ensure that student IEPs continue to be implemented as written, whether in-person or by telepractice.

Teletherapy

Many students with IEPs, particularly those who have been found eligible under Speech or Language Impairment (SLI), are provided speech therapy services as part of FAPE. These services may continue without disruption during a school site closure via a telepractice model, in which the speech therapist interacts with the student through a HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing platform. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) affirms that telepractice is considered an appropriate model of service delivery for speech-language pathologists, when clinically appropriate. Further, ASHA notes that telepractice may be used to overcome barriers of access to service, such as distance or unavailability of specialists.
