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 West Tennessee Special Technology Access Resources Center, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended, as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child talks a lot, they might need help with communication skills like responding to questions, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is important to teach language and communication, and your child can learn effective ways to communicate so that they can become more independent and confident. It may be obvious if your child is struggling with speaking – they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all. To learn more, check out our comprehensive guide to speech therapy and contact our team at West Tennessee Special Technology Access Resources Center if you have any questions.
At West Tennessee Special Technology Access Resources Center (WTSTAR), we understand the importance of effective communication. Our speech therapy services are designed to help your child express themselves clearly by providing them with the tools to communicate in a variety of ways. We can help with nonverbal skills, speaking more clearly, understanding and responding to questions, reading facial expressions and body language, and even aiding with feeding and swallowing. Our speech therapists are here to help your child reach their fullest communication potential.
Contact Phone number is (731) 668-3888.
