Teletherapy Services
Teletherapy services are offered at Assential Therapies for feeding therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. Teletherapy services is the blessing we received through the hardships of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are excited to say that we have had hundreds of successful teletherapy sessions with our patients throughout the years. What started out as an alternate mode of providing therapy during the pandemic, has now become a preferred mode of therapy for several of patient families. Most insurances have allowed coverage for these services and continue to allow coverage at this time. As always we do offer private pay rates for families without insurance coverage.
