Soundbox Speech Therapy offers treatment via telecommunications to support the needs of our patients in speech and occupational therapy.  The services are offered by linking the clinician to the patient for assessment, treatment and consultation.

Services are conducted with interactive audio and video connection in real time to create an in-person experience much like that achieved in a traditional encounter.
