The Deaf Community in New York
Rochester alone, home to NTID at RIT, hosts tens of thousands of Deaf and hard of hearing residents. Add NYC's Deaf communities in all five boroughs, Buffalo, Albany, and the North Country, and New York's need for ASL-fluent therapy outstrips nearly every state. Wherever in New York you are, your therapist is licensed here and signs fluently.
How Online ASL Therapy Works
Getting started is simple: reach out through our contact form or videophone, and our team matches you with a therapist licensed in New York who fits your needs and preferences. Sessions happen over secure, HIPAA-compliant video — all you need is a computer, tablet, or videophone and an internet connection.
Insurance & Costs
Coverage shouldn't be a mystery. We work with most major commercial plans and Medicare, and offer single-case agreements (SCAs) when we're not already paneled with your plan. Our team confirms your benefits before your first appointment and explains everything plainly.
