What Is Telehealth Speech Therapy for Kids?
Telehealth speech therapy is speech pathology delivered by live video call. Your child sees a qualified speech pathologist in real time, from home, school or wherever suits you.
It's the same assessment and therapy we provide in the clinic, planned for a screen. We use games, shared screen activities, books and toys from your home. Families in regional, rural and interstate areas can see an experienced paediatric speech pathologist without the time and energy required when travelling.
