LinkedUp: Breaking Boundaries in Education

On this podcast Kristin Martinez discusses the essential components of teletherapy and how these virtual services work to meet the needs of students.  While many schools struggle to find specialized speech and language professionals as well as other specialized professionals to serve all students with IEPs or behavioral and mental health needs, many are finding teletherapy provided by clinical experts to be a solution to this ever growing concern.  Many educators are interested in teletherapy and Kristin pulls the curtain back and sheds light on the process to help people understand how these services can work effectively and partner with school districts to provide the the critical services services students need.   Kristin Martinez received her M.A. from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2000, and worked as an onsite SLP and in private practice for 13 years before starting as a teletherapist with PresenceLearning in 2013. Kristin presents on the topic of school-based teletherapy nationwide, and currently serves as Clinical Director, SLP & OT for PresenceLearning.
