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 Elaine Friedman, MS, we understand that it can be challenging to determine whether or not your child needs speech therapy. We want to help you understand the importance of speech therapy for children with autism and provide you with the resources you need to make an informed decision. If your child is having difficulty with social communication, it is almost always recommended to seek out speech therapy. This is especially important during the early stages of language development, when the brain is forming critical connections. Speech therapy can help your child learn effective ways to communicate, so they can become more independent and confident. It might be obvious if your child is struggling with speaking, but for those who are unsure, our guide will provide you with the information you need to know about speech therapy.
At Elaine Friedman, MS, we believe speech therapy can help your child in a variety of ways. Our experienced speech therapists provide support in areas such as nonverbal skills, forming speech, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, feeding and swallowing, and even stuttering. We understand that communication is key and strive to give your child the tools they need to be successful in all their environments.
Contact Phone number is (718) 584-7679.
