What are Teleservices?
Broadly, teleservice is the application of remote work and telecommunications technology to deliver professional services at a distance. Clarke’s Teleservices are customized LSL services provided remotely and tailored to each family, professional or organization's needs.
Do Teleservices offer the same standard of care as in-person sessions?
Yes, the child and family receive the same quality of support and services as provided by a Clarke professional on site.
How Do Teleservices help Families?
Sharon, parent of a child who was in Clarke’s Teleservices Program talks about her family’s experience.
Benefiting from a caregiver-coaching model, families bring their real, day-to-day experiences to virtual sessions where Clarke experts create a safe, instructional space for learning and guided practice. Listening and Spoken Language (LSL) strategies are integrated into each family’s unique home life—whether that’s cooing with a newborn or evaluating accommodations at the university level.
Clarke partners with hundreds of hospitals, early intervention agencies, schools and districts each year. We sensitively support many families of children newly diagnosed with hearing loss—offering information and options for support upon request. We guide caregivers and coach students through educational transitions and mainstream settings. We will meet the needs of any early intervention or school/district and work collaboratively with administrators and educators to ensure their success in working with students who are deaf or hard of hearing and using LSL. And we are uniquely prepared to provide caregivers with the tools they need to understand their child’s hearing loss, make informed choices about educational options and find the path that is right for their family.
Overwhelmed with requests for remote services? We can help. The Clarke team has had the opportunity to refine our virtual LSL service delivery since we launched our teleservices in 2013. As one of the first LSL providers to implement virtual services, Clarke offers proven, results-oriented and customized support for families and children. Let our expert team support yours.

Teleservices for Families

Our teleservices program includes a range of assessments designed to support students’ listening, communication, and academic success. We can administer Functional Listening Evaluations to assess how students access auditory information in real-life settings. In addition, we use informal assessments such as the SIFTER and LIFE-R checklists, which gather valuable input from both students and teachers about listening and learning performance in the classroom.
Our Speech-Language Pathologists also conduct individualized assessments every six months to monitor progress and adjust goals as needed. All virtual assessments are conducted with the same rigor, expertise, and professional standards as in-person evaluations. Research and experience have shown that virtual assessments provide equally valid and reliable results, ensuring that each student receives comprehensive and meaningful support through our teleservices model.
