What Clients are Saying
əLiveNow has been a game changer for our district. Their SLPs are not only highly qualified but also incredibly responsive and flexible. We no longer have to worry about service gaps or last-minute coverage — they’ve handled everything seamlessly through telepractice.
We were initially unsure about teletherapy, but working with əLiveNow changed our minds completely. Our students are thriving, parents are happy, and the clinical team goes above and beyond to communicate and collaborate with staff.
I’ve worked with many providers, but əLiveNow stands out. The consistency, quality, and professionalism of their team is unmatched. Their understanding of school-based service delivery and IEP compliance makes our jobs so much easier.
