Episode #203: Early Intervention and Teletherapy with Glory Lichon

Today, we’re diving into empowering parents and the magic of early intervention through teletherapy with Glory Lichon, founder of Glow Bright Therapy. Glory’s journey started in school-based therapy, but like many SLPs, she faced burnout. That experience led her to create a teletherapy practice focused on early intervention, where parent involvement takes center stage.

Without the barrier of school-based settings, early intervention teletherapy actively involves parents, guiding them through strategies they can use in daily routines and their child’s natural environment. From evaluations to progress checks, families and therapists work together on a HIPAA-compliant Zoom platform, making it simple and secure. Each session kicks off by understanding the family’s recent experiences and observing the child in their environment, looking for natural opportunities to support communication and learning.

Glory’s approach is all about letting the child lead—she believes communication isn’t just about talking and prompting. She follows the “Observe, Wait, Listen” strategy, which allows kids to explore at their own pace, focusing on authentic engagement rather than prompting. She also shares practical, easy tips parents can try at home, like using bath time to practice verbal routines (“wash, wash, wash your hair…”) or learning body parts during soaping up.
