Expressable introduces in-home speech therapy services

Leanne Sherred, a pediatric speech therapist, has revolutionized the speech therapy industry with the launch of Expressable, a tech-forward platform that puts caregivers at the center of care. Traditionally, therapists have faced challenges in implementing caregiver-led therapy due to limited access to caregivers and educational barriers. However, Sherred saw an opportunity during the pandemic to create a new model that prioritizes caregiver involvement.

Expressable offers one-on-one virtual sessions with speech language pathologists, along with multimedia home programming, interactive practice activities, therapist support via SMS, and more. This innovative approach allows speech therapy to be more accessible and engaging, breaking the limitations of traditional in-person sessions.

The platform caters to both adult and child patients with various conditions such as language disorders, speech delays, aphasia, stuttering, and autism spectrum disorder. By hiring health specialists as W2 employees, Expressable ensures a high level of expertise and commitment to patient care.

Recently, Expressable secured a $26 million Series B funding round led by HarbourVest Partners, signaling a strong investor interest in the telehealth sector. With $50 million in funding, the company plans to enhance its care delivery model, expand payer relationships, and explore AI applications to improve the client experience.

Expressable’s success highlights the potential for technology to transform healthcare delivery, making therapy more accessible, engaging, and effective. By empowering caregivers to be active participants in the therapy process, Expressable is paving the way for faster outcomes and improved patient care.
