OP Therapy Teleservices provides high-quality speech teletherapy services to both rural school districts and healthcare patients. CoxHealth partners with contracted rural schools to deliver school-based speech therapy, while also offering direct teletherapy care to CoxHealth outpatients.

School-based positions are PRN, offering guaranteed hours throughout the school year and following the academic calendar, making them ideal for providers seeking a flexible yet stable schedule. In the outpatient setting, teletherapy services operate on a consistent weekly schedule with dedicated, pre-scheduled patients to ensure continuity of care.

All providers work remotely, allowing clinicians the convenience and flexibility of delivering care from home while maintaining meaningful connections with their students and patients.

Speech-language pathologists assess, diagnose, treat, and help to prevent speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication and swallowing disorders in children and adults. They will develop or implement treatment plans for problems that include, but are not limited to, stuttering, delayed language, swallowing disorders, inappropriate pitch or harsh voice problems, and social communication disorders.
