Say Hello to a New Approach to School-Based Teletherapy
Our teletherapy services look different because they are different.
Since 2009, we’ve provided engaging teletherapy services for school districts across the west coast. Today, as more districts recognize the immense benefits that teletherapy offers, we at Care Options for Kids, formerly The Hello Foundation, are leading the charge for transformative virtual therapy for students.
Communication is the foundation of our approach. We work with you to understand your priorities to ensure your district’s specific needs are met, and then connect you with our skilled clinicians, including speech-language pathologists (SLPs), speech-language pathology assistants (SLPAs), occupational therapists (OTs), and school psychologists. Our dedication doesn’t end after the contract is signed — our team is there to support you every step of the way. Working together, we can empower students to surpass barriers and meet their goals.
