When is online therapy a better fit than in-person?
Online therapy is ideal if you:
  • have a busy or changing schedule,
  • live far from providers or have limited transport,
  • prefer the privacy and comfort of your own space,
  • travel frequently or split time between locations.
For many people, this flexibility is what makes it possible to actually stay in therapy.

Is online therapy private and secure?
Reputable online therapy platforms use encrypted connections and secure apps that are designed for confidential healthcare communication. Sessions are held in a private space of your choosing, which can feel safer than a public waiting room.
See trusted online therapy platforms →
How do costs compare with in-person therapy?
Online therapy can sometimes be more affordable overall: there are no travel costs, less time away from work or family, and many platforms offer predictable weekly pricing. The value often comes from being able to attend regularly without extra friction.

Have questions?

At Autism Early Detection Team, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is a critical part of early intervention for autistic children, and if your child is having difficulty with social communication, it is almost always recommended. Speech therapy can help your child learn effective ways to communicate, improving their confidence and independence. Signs that your child may need speech therapy include being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. To learn more, visit our comprehensive guide to speech therapy and find out if it is the right choice for your child.
At Autism Early Detection Team, we understand that speech therapy can help in many ways. Our goal is to help your child develop the skills necessary to communicate effectively and without frustration. We strive to use the most effective methods and techniques, such as gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), to help your child with nonverbal skills, forming speech more clearly, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and body language, and even feeding and swallowing. Our team is dedicated to helping your child reach their full potential.
Contact Phone number is (512) 495-9556.
