Why Work with Us

Why Work With SLPTELE

What is SLPTELE?

SLPTELE is a technology-centric company focused on enabling excellent clinical care by pushing the boundaries of technology. We are a perfect blend of Speech Language Pathologists and Programmers with a razor focus on developing innovative ways of providing speech therapy services. We serve clients who would otherwise not be receiving any services by connecting them with SLPs who have expertise in their unique area of need.

What is the joining process?

Once you submit your request, it will be directly routed to our Talent Acquisition Team and a member of our team will reach out to set up a phone screen and clinical assessment. We are committed to timely responses and will reach back out with an offer if you are found to be a good fit to join our team! At that time, we will forward our contract with the terms and conditions. Once the contract is signed, we will give you access to our online system and forward you material on how to use our system. One-on-one training is also available at no cost to you. Once you are familiar with our system, we will start referring you clients.  

What training will I receive?

You will receive 1:1 training from our team, which includes access to videos and tutorials, as well as additional support to learn our system.

What do I need to get started? 

You must have access to a computer/laptop, webcam, headset, high-speed internet and a license to practice speech therapy in the state where client resides. 

Is online therapy really as good as face-to-face therapy? 

Research shows that teletherapy is just as effective as in person therapy.  On average, our clients are seen 2-3 times/week in individual sessions, which means faster results.  

What kind of material will I use? 

We have a growing library of digital materials for everyone to use. In addition, you can use any of your own materials within your therapy sessions. You can even use the toys and objects within the child or adults home when you are doing teletherapy with your clients.

Will I be completing IEPs? 

We are clinic-based and currently do not work with the school systems.  Therefore, you will never have to complete an IEP! 

What are the license requirements to provide teletherapy? 

You must be licensed in the state in which you will be treating.  If you do not have that license, you have the ability to obtain that license.  

What hours can I work? 

Depending on the time zone in which you are located, you will have a lot of flexibility to work outside of regular school hours. This means you have the option to work early in the morning or late in the evening and on weekends, if you choose.

What is the company’s process for documentation and billing? 

The SLPTELE system is an end-to-end Practice Management and Electronic Medical Records. All the documentation and billing is done within our system. SLPs need to submit their notes daily and are not responsible for billing insurance.

How often will I be paid? 

You are able to manage your payroll within our software and get paid twice a month.

What is SLPTELE’s referral source? 

SLPTELE is one of the largest and fastest growing company in speech therapy. We are preferred providers for several insurance companies, medical groups, IPA’s and hospitals. SLPs are not required to generate any referrals. We currently have more referrals than SLPs and continue to recruit for SLPs on an ongoing basis.

How does the Therapist communicate with clients? 

SLPs can communicate with families in a number of ways. In addition to making phone calls which can be logged within our system, they can also send and receive secure emails and SMS messages provided by the company. The SMS system is built in to our SLPTELE application.  

Which technology is used for teleconferencing? 

We have built the latest teleconferencing technology into our own software.

What kind of support is offered in order to work with clients? 

As part of your on-boarding, we offer every new SLP training in our system.  If you are new to teletherapy, we have training to help you get up to speed. We have a dedicated scheduling team to assist with scheduling issues. We hold regular team meetings and have a Clinical Manager to support you.

Does SLPTELE have online library for speech therapy material? 

We have an extensive library that is available within our system. We have screen sharing capability built into our system that SLPs can use to share any existing materials that they have on their computer. SLPs can also upload materials on our system using our content management feature.

How do assessments work within SLPTELE? Do you provide assessment materials?

We provide a report template to guide your assessment. We are currently not licensed to provide any standardized assessments for our providers. However, as independent contractors, you can use any of your own testing materials on our platform.

Am I able to pick and choose my caseload? 

We are a clinic-based practice. We receive referrals for a wide variety of disorders ranging from ages 18 months through geriatrics. We assign our clients in the order in which they are received and expect our SLPs to be able to serve all clients within the scope of speech-language pathology.

How long is a typical contract? 

Our contracts with SLPs do not have an expiration date unless negotiated otherwise. Once you sign a contract, you are considered a 1099 contractor until either party decides to end the contract with-in a 30-days notice.
