Communication Health Assistants & Affordable Speech Therapy for Children

Communication Health Assistants (CHAs), also known as SLPAs or Therapy Assistants play a supportive role in delivering speech therapy under the supervision of licensed Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), offering a cost-effective solution for families while ensuring that children receive the care they need. By understanding the role of CHAs and how they contribute to speech therapy, parents can make informed decisions about their child’s treatment.
