Technology allows for remote delivery of therapy, making it more convenient for patients and increasing overall accessibility, is expected to lead to the growth of the market. For instance, in January 2023, The National Science Foundation has awarded USD 20 million to the University at Buffalo a grant to establish an institute that develops AI systems to assist young children with speech and language processing challenges.
The introduction of speech therapy services into educational systems and schools, particularly for children, enhances accessibility and early intervention. Collaboration between speech therapists and educators is a positive driver for market growth. In September 2023, The University of Tampa has collaborated with Gannon University to offer UT graduates a direct path to graduate-level health programs in occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, and physical therapy.
