Telehealth

Teletherapy (or telehealth) is the delivery of therapy service online. The therapist and the client can see each other via webcam, and, depending on the platform used, it is often possible to share a screen so that a range of resources and games can be used. This helps to keep the children motivated and get the most out of the sessions.

Teletherapy has a growing evidence base of effectiveness, and therapists are required to provide sessions that are equal in quality to a face to face session.

To access this service you need to have access to:

• Webcam (often built in)
• Tablet, laptop or computer
• Internet access

Video calling can work on mobile phones but the screen is often too small – contact me to discuss this further.

We are able to offer assessment, therapy and parent coaching via video calling. We can work with children directly with the following difficulties:

• Speech sound difficulties
• Difficulties with understanding language
• Difficulties using language
• Stammering

We can also support parents in helping their children in all of the above areas, as well as for younger children who may not yet be talking.

We can work with parents to give ideas and support them with implementing strategies in the home. We can also provide low cost online training for parents in a range of areas such as:

Developing first words, supporting language development at home and supporting phonological awareness and speech sounds at home.

Please get in touch if you would like to know more about any of these training opportunities.
