In 2017, Amita developed expertise in providing virtual assessments and teletherapy across various online platforms. She was then recruited as a supervisor to manage and audit a team of Speech-language Pathologists training to providing virtual sessions. She has continued to advocate for a role for virtual therapy in contemporary SLP Practices.
