Teletherapy

Teletherapy is just like face-to-face speech therapy but instead of sitting across the table from your speech pathologist, the session takes place on your iPad or computer screen. The session is a one-on-one session with your speech pathologist at a pre-arranged appointment time.

All you need is a computer or tablet with a camera and microphone, and an internet connection. We can use Skype, FaceTime, Zoom or Teams– depending on what works best for your circumstances.

We will only recommend sessions via telehealth for you if we can provide an equivalent service to that provided in face-to-face therapy. Teletherapy may be used for all or some of your speech therapy sessions.    

There is evidence that therapy via telehealth, and client satisfaction, are equivalent to face-to-face speech therapy.   The benefits include increased service accessibility and reduced contact with people outside the home during pandemics and the like!
