What is Teletherapy?

Teletherapy has been defined as “the application of telecommunications technology to the deliver of professional services at a distance by linking clinician to client, or clinician to clinician, for assessment, intervention, and/or consultation.” In a nutshell, it’s online therapy.

Traveling to an office for therapy is often not convenient and, for some people, it is not possible. But modern technology can connect clinicians with clients no matter where they live.

You may be wondering how dyslexia therapy can be provided through a computer. Lexercise Clinician, Tori Whaley, describes in this article how she does an online, structured literacy therapy session.

Lexercise is a blended learning system that supports structured literacy (Orton-Gillingham) intervention. “Blended learning” combines traditional, face-to-face teaching and learning methods with computer-mediated methods. Lexercise empowers blended learning by coordinating face-to-face teletherapy sessions and daily exercise games for intensive practice.
