Its that time of year again, when our teams at Abington Speech Pathology, RemoteSpeech, and VirtualTx reflect upon the year, and the very things that we are most thankful for. We present this list each year as a way of expressing our immense gratitude to our patients, therapists, associates, and beyond. We have listed just a small sample of the things in the world of speech-language pathology that make us smile. We hope that this compilation can give you the same sense of gratitude, and warm your hearts for the coming holiday season.

ASHA’s Take Action website helps you take part in virtual advocacy by contacting state and federal elected official on issues impacting audiology and speech-language pathology, as well as those we serve. Why does it matter? ASHA members have the strongest voice when it comes to advocacy. As an audiologist, speech-language pathologist, or student, you have the expertise to talk about the legislative and policy issues that impact you and those you serve. You’re also a constituent with voting power—your legislators depend on your vote for their election. That’s why it’s important for you to tell your elected officials how legislation affects you. Learn more about ASHA’s advocacy work, and read ASHA’s 2021 Public Policy. ASHA has a team of 20 government affairs and public policy professionals who can assist you with your advocacy efforts.

At the forefront of telehealth for Speech-Language Pathology with RemoteSpeech.com, this past year, we launched VirtualTx – Custom software application “VirtualTx” offers Cutting Edge Technology to resolve the immediate needs of Speech Pathology in the age of virtual therapy. VirtualTx, powered by RemoteSpeech, is a cloud-based web application software and web portal developed as a “one-stop-shop” for service management and delivery of speech therapy. VirtualTx includes a multi-user interface with integrated features that are user-friendly, including Scheduling, a Live Chat Interface, Materials Library, Billing, and Cloud Storage for Notes and Reports. VirtualTx uses zoom webinar integration, with security features that are in compliance with HIPPA regulations. Users can access VirtualTx with any device and internet connection – through a laptop or tablet is recommended for an optimal therapy experience. We created VirtualTx to address additional challenges- Resources for quality therapy sessions were highly inadequate, billing processes were cumbersome, the ability to vet quality service providers and to provide quality therapy using adaptive learning was at the forefront of transitioning to virtual therapy. VirtualTx was created to address these very challenges. Learn more about our latest offering in technology here.
Another area that receives our constant gratitude is our dedicated therapists. We are so very grateful to have a team that is dedicated to their profession and treating others.

An ongoing trend in the world of speech-language pathology is the identification of new areas for treatment. Every year, we learn more about new areas where speech-language pathology can be effectively employed. We are grateful to have the opportunity to use our skills to provide a positive impact in the lives of others. Check out some of the latest uses for SLP!
The most important area of our practice is the very patients that we treat, who motivate us each day to do what we do. We were so inspired by our patient’s resiliency throughout the pandemic, and not just our patients, but all patients around the world!
The response to the COVID-19 virus is unprecedented. Because of our unique role in children’s K-12 education, we feel a responsibility to do what we can to assist schools, therapists, and students with this transition to online learning and seclusion. To ensure that our clients remain engaged and supported, our therapists will be providing complimentary “Support Sessions” to the country’s youth. We will also be assisting schools by training therapists for remote therapy.
