Abington Speech Pathology, which started offering teletherapy long before the COVID-19 outbreak, is now ready to take its newest product called VirtualTx national, writes John George for the Philadelphia Business Journal. Orna Azulay, the owner and CEO of Abington Speech Pathology and its subsidiary Remote Speech, is currently talking with outside investors as she attempts to raise $3 million to accelerate VirtualTx expansion plans. “We want to take this to a national level,” she said. “There’s a need.” There were 350,000 students in need who were not receiving speech therapy due to access issues before the pandemic, and now the access issues have only worsened, Azulay said. VirtualTx was created after the company realized there was no single place where people could find all of the components required to offer remote speech therapy services in a virtual and private environment. “Everything was piecemeal,” said Azulay. “We decided to do it on our own.” VirtualTx is a cloud-based software application web portal and online environment that assists therapists, students, and school districts facilitate and manage effective speech therapy programs in remote settings.
