A pioneer in virtual therapy since 2008, Birgit has developed virtual special education programs for schools around the world and worked directly with students, families and teachers across many countries. Over her career she has supervised hundreds of therapists and providers, and previously built and led an online speech therapy clinic spanning 24 US states with a team of over 200 speech therapists.
