who we are

əLiveNow is a woman-owned virtual private practice that provides high-quality speech-language therapy services across the U.S. We connect  schools, clinicians, and families through a flexible, direct model that prioritizes clinical excellence, transparency, and meaningful outcomes. Whether your school is filling staffing gaps, or your child needs early intervention support, our team of expert SLPs is ready to deliver personalized, results-driven care—virtually.

Our mission

To ensure that every student gets the services they need…

We exist to make expert speech therapy more accessible, more personal, and more effective. At əLiveNow, we believe that clinicians deserve respect, families deserve high-quality care, and schools deserve a reliable partner. We eliminate the middleman, reduce overhead, and build strong partnerships based on integrity, collaboration, and continuous support.

 

Our Vision

why it matters

There’s a shortage of qualified SLPs across the country, and too many families and schools are stuck with inconsistent service or long waitlists.

We created əLiveNow to solve that problem—by building a nationwide team of vetted, supported, and highly skilled clinicians who are empowered to do their best work.

With a foundation rooted in both clinical integrity and business innovation, we’re redefining what’s possible in speech therapy.
