Complete Guide: Telehealth in Speech Therapy

Telehealth in Speech Therapy: A Decisive Turning Point

The 2020 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telehealth across all healthcare professions, and speech therapy is no exception. In 2026, telehealth has become an essential pillar of private practice.

Cabdivin integrates a complete telehealth platform directly into your workspace — no third-party tools to install.

The Legal Framework

Since Amendment 16 to the national speech therapist convention (2020), telehealth is officially authorized and reimbursed. Key points:

• An initial in-person assessment is mandatory before any remote care
• The patient must give informed consent (recorded in the file)
• Telehealth must use a secure platform compliant with HDS standards
• The therapist must be able to switch to in-person if necessary

Why Adopt Telehealth?

For you, the speech therapist:

• Flexibility: manage your schedule without geographical constraints
• Fewer no-shows: patients cancel less when sessions are at home
• Expanded patient base: follow patients in rural areas or abroad
• Time savings: no travel between offices

For your patients:

• Accessibility: ideal for patients with reduced mobility
• Comfort: children are often more at ease in their environment
• Continuity: no interruption during holidays or travel

Best Practices for Successful Telehealth Sessions

• Vary activities every 5-10 minutes with children
