In session, the door is closed. So is the phone.
A session is 45 minutes with the phone on silent — strung together all day. Worried parents call at day's end, right as you finish: language delay, stuttering, reading troubles. A first contact is a $60–90 assessment, often followed by months of sessions. It goes to the first speech therapist who calls back.

The fix
What Signal does
Signal sends a text in <10 s that reassures the parent and offers an assessment slot in your real availability. AI orients (child or adult, suspected disorder, prescriber if any) and notes the useful documents — prescription, health record. You call back at day's end for the clinical content, not to collect logistics.

FAQ
Speech therapists: your questions
Do parents really call other speech therapists?
True, and fast: when a child's welfare is at stake, parents call 3–4 therapists the same evening and take the first callback. Your waiting list doesn't change that: the first contact decides. A <10 s text keeps you in the race while you finish your session.
I already have a waiting list. Why bother?
Because a missed call isn't just a lost patient: it's lost triage. AI can state the wait time, offer a referral to a colleague if you're saturated, and take details for the list. Your reputation improves, not just your calendar.
Children's health data is sensitive. How is that handled?
The text never mentions the reason: no "speech assessment" on a parent's screen at work. Qualified exchanges stay encrypted, GDPR-compliant, and you can purge everything on request. You control the wording of messages, word for word.
Does it handle post-stroke adult requests?
Yes: AI distinguishes profiles (child / adult, suspected disorder, prescriber if any) and offers a suitable assessment slot. These calls often come in the evening, after work or rehab. You find them qualified at day's end, ready for a priority callback.
I share a secretary with colleagues. Is it compatible?
Yes: each line keeps its own script and its own calendar; the secretary can take over at any time of day. Signal replaces no one — it covers the uncovered hours. Monday and Saturday mornings, in practice, it's the one answering.
