Speech and OT clinicsGoal: Evaluation booked

The AI receptionist that books therapy evaluations with parents after school pickup.

Parents call about speech delays and handwriting struggles between work and pickup, and your therapists are in sessions all day. Avoonta answers, books the evaluation with the parent, and keeps weekly sessions confirmed.

The problem

Why speech & occupational therapy leads go cold.

Therapy works week after week, so every missed session counts.

Small therapy practices run on weekly sessions that last months. A missed session can't be made up easily, and after-school slots are the hardest to fill when a family cancels.

New parents calling after a pediatrician or school referral often reach voicemail, because every therapist is with a child. They call the next practice on the referral list.

What Avoonta does for speech & occupational therapy

Four jobs, done on every call.

Books evaluations with parents

Outbound + inbound

Your AI agent confirms it's speaking with a parent or guardian, asks about the referral and insurance at a scheduling level, and books the evaluation on your Google, Outlook, HighLevel or Cal.com calendar.

Confirms weekly sessions

Follow-up

It calls or texts parents the day before and rebooks sessions they can't make, so the slot can go to another family.

Fills openings from the waitlist

Outbound

When a recurring slot opens, it calls waitlisted families in your order and books the first one who wants it.

Sends therapy questions to therapists

Live transfer

Questions about a child's progress or home practice go to the therapist as a message or a live transfer.

If confirmations and waitlist calls fill a few weekly slots that would otherwise sit empty, those recurring sessions would cover the plan.

Example only. Your caseload, session fees and cancellation patterns will differ.

Limits and compliance

Parents and guardians only. No therapy advice.

For child clients, the agent speaks only with a parent or adult guardian and never with the child. It books evaluations and sessions and answers FAQs from your practice's information; it never comments on whether a child is behind or what therapy they need. Avoonta doesn't claim HIPAA compliance, so collect only scheduling, referral and insurance carrier details. Calls happen between 8am and 8pm, and every one starts with the AI disclosure.

Speech & Occupational Therapy FAQ

Straight answers.

What if a child answers the phone?

The agent asks for a parent or guardian and offers to call back. It doesn't ask the child anything.

Will it tell parents whether their child needs therapy?

No. That's what the evaluation is for. It books the visit and leaves clinical questions to your therapists.

Can it work our waitlist for recurring slots?

Yes. Send the waitlist by webhook or Zapier, and it calls families in order when a weekly slot opens.

Do you also see adult clients?

If you do, the agent books adults directly and only uses the parent rule for minors.

Your next speech & occupational therapy lead gets a call in seconds.
