The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) announced that PresenceLearning, a provider of live online special education–related services for grades preK–12, has become an ASHA Corporate Partner.
ASHA’s partnership with PresenceLearning will help speech-language pathologists (SLPs) access teletherapy at a time when online education tools have proven to be critical to connecting to students and clients. PresenceLearning has been providing teletherapy tools for 12 years, and its proprietary platform has been built by clinicians for clinicians. The platform—which includes a built-in content library of activities and tools that allow clinicians to learn from their peers—is also available for individual and group practice.
“As we learned from the pandemic, our members need every tool available to them to help serve their patients, clients, and students no matter what arises,” said ASHA 2021 President A. Lynn Williams, PhD, CCC-SLP. “PresenceLearning’s therapy platform will help ensure that students get the care that they need from our members.”
"Central to the mission of PresenceLearning is our dedication to innovation and opportunity creation for SLPs working with students with special needs,” said Kate Eberle Walker, CEO of PresenceLearning. “Expanding our partnership with ASHA is an important part of our commitment to the speech-language pathology profession.”
