Why Schools Are Fighting the Tech—and Therapists Are Embracing It For decades, school-based speech therapy followed a familiar model: a clinician on site, a small therapy room, a pull-out schedule, and paper-heavy documentation. That model worked—until it didn’t.

Noticing subtle changes in an aging loved one? You aren’t alone. 🧠💬
As our family members age, we often spot small things that feel slightly “off”—perhaps a missed word, a bit of confusion, or difficulty following a chat. It can be quite unsettling, but these moments deserve attention. 
Did you know that changes in speech and communication are often among the very first signs of shifts in cognitive or neurological health? 
Here are a few signs to keep an eye on:
• Word Finding: Increasing difficulty naming familiar items or finding the right words. 
• Repetition: Asking the same questions or telling the same stories more frequently. 
• Confusion: Seeming unsure about time, place, or daily routines. 
• Withdrawal: Becoming quieter or frustrated when trying to communicate. 
These aren’t just “normal” parts of aging. A Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) does far more than correct speech; we evaluate how the brain processes and expresses information to help maintain independence and dignity. 
What can you do?
Trust your instincts. If you notice these changes, track them and consider scheduling an evaluation. Early support allows us to teach compensatory strategies and support memory, making a massive difference in quality of life. 
At VirtualTx, we are here to help identify what is happening and guide you through the next steps so your loved one can continue to connect and participate in life.

Did you know proposed changes to federal student loans could exclude SLP, OT, and PT graduate programs?

The Department of Education is narrowing the definition of a “professional degree program.” While fields like medicine and dentistry made the list, essential rehabilitation professions—SLP, OT, and PT—are currently excluded in the draft.

This isn't just semantics. Losing this designation could mean lower federal borrowing limits for future students, forcing them toward high-interest private loans and potentially worsening workforce shortages in hospitals and schools.

These programs require advanced degrees, national certification, and intense clinical experience. They meet every standard of a "professional degree."

The Call to Action: A public comment period will open soon. It is vital that universities, clinicians, students, and employers speak up to propose revisions.

Keep an eye out for the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and get ready to advocate for the future of rehabilitation therapy.

🛑 The Telehealth Cliff is Here: Immediate Impact of the Government Shutdown on Medicare Clients

The government shutdown (starting Oct 1st) has rolled back crucial telehealth flexibilities overnight.

For our Medicare teletherapy clients, this means:
❌ No more sessions from home for many.
❌ Loss of audio-only session options.
❌ Returning to pre-pandemic geographic/site restrictions.

This threatens access for those who need care most, especially those with mobility and transportation challenges.

What we must do now:

Prioritise Client Communication: Explain the changes and discuss alternatives.

Hold Telehealth Claims: Medicare contractors advise holding claims for ~10 business days for potential retroactive rule restoration.

Advocate: Use your voice! Contact your legislative representatives to share how this cuts off essential care.

This is more than policy—it's about continuity of care. Let's support each other and advocate for our clients' access.

"Because everything a practice needs is in one place [with VirtualTx] we could drop other software that is currently costing us a lot of money. [VirtualTx] is worth paying for.”

– Large Clinic Administrator

Recent market research confirms it. VirtualTx is the all-in-one solution that therapy practices have been waiting for.

We asked practitioners what they needed, and their response was clear. They want a platform that is:

• Comprehensive: Manage your entire practice from scheduling to billing in one place.

• Intuitive: Get started quickly with a visually appealing and easy-to-use interface.

• Resourceful: Save time with a built-in library of therapy materials and games.

The feedback was definitive. A high majority of independent practitioners, small clinics, and large clinic administrators are keen to adopt VirtualTx.

Our platform is designed by therapists, for therapists, to solve real challenges. See the difference for yourself. Request a demo today!
