Teletherapy / Online speech therapy
What is teletherapy?
Teletherapy, also known as online therapy or telepractice, is therapy via a computer. It's been proven to be very effective in children. "Findings from the seven reviewed studies revealed that telehealth is a promising method for treating children with speech and/or language difficulties" (ASHA, American’s speech-language therapy professional body).
How do online teletherapy sessions work?
Teletherapy sessions work very much the same way as traditional therapy sessions with only one significant difference - the therapist and the client meet online.
You and your child will need a quiet space, with reasonably strong WIFI. Headphones aren’t necessary (but can help some children), and neither is a keyboard or mouse. When the time comes for the appointment you click on the link we'll send you and enter in the password. You and your therapist will be able to see and hear each other clearly and in real-time. We’ll use a combination of our usual resources and online activities and materials during your session.
Can I continue having face-to-face sessions with my SLT?
Absolutely! Just let us know what works best for you.
