Online Speech Therapist: Telepractice Assessment and Follow-Up in Quebec
Consult an online speech therapist, wherever you are in Quebec, for a telepractice assessment or follow-up.
Sessions by secure video, in English or French.
How Telepractice Works
Telepractice is a speech therapy session held remotely, by video, rather than at the office. You connect to a secure platform from home, and the speech-language pathologist runs the session just as they would in person: conversation, exercises, and documents and games shared on screen. All you need is a computer, a camera, and an Internet connection.
Who Online Speech Therapy Is For
Online consultations suit the vast majority of situations, at any age:
- Children, with a parent’s support during the session
- Adolescents, comfortable with digital tools
- Adults and CEGEP and university students
- People in remote regions, with no speech-language pathologist nearby
- Anyone whose schedule leaves little room for travel
Just as Effective as In-Person Therapy
It’s the question everyone asks, and the answer is reassuring. A systematic review found that children followed through telepractice and in person make significant and comparable progress on nearly all measures assessed. Telepractice is now a recognized, evidence-based mode of service delivery.
Our article on hybrid telepractice and in-person approaches explores the comparison in more depth.
Our Telepractice Services
Everything we offer in person is also available online, from assessment to follow-up.
Online Assessment
The speech-language pathologist assesses language, speech, or communication remotely, using tools adapted to telepractice, then provides a report and an intervention plan. Online assessment covers spoken language, written language such as dyslexia and dysorthographia, as well as stuttering.
Remote Follow-Up and Intervention
Follow-up takes place through regular video sessions, according to the established plan. The approaches remain the same as in person: you’ll find them in our speech therapy modalities. Exercises and materials are shared directly on screen.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Speech Therapy
Do I need a medical referral?
No. You can consult an online speech therapist directly, without going through a doctor. Simply contact us to schedule a first meeting.
What equipment do I need for an online session?
A computer, tablet, or phone with a camera, and a stable Internet connection. We send you the link to the secure platform in advance; there’s no complicated software to install. A quiet spot helps you get the most out of the session.
Is telepractice covered by insurance?
Speech therapy is not covered by RAMQ, but many private insurance plans reimburse part or all of the fees, online as well as in person. You receive an official receipt for your reimbursement claims. You’ll find the details on our speech therapy fees page.
Do you offer services in English and French?
Yes. Our telepractice sessions are offered in English or French, according to your preference, anywhere in Quebec.
What if I sometimes prefer in-person sessions?
That’s entirely possible. We offer a flexible model that combines online and in-person sessions at our offices, where you can consult a speech therapist in Val-d’Or, in Mont-Laurier, or in Montreal’s Sud-Ouest. You choose the formula that suits you, and it can evolve over the course of your follow-up.
