Services / Teletherapy
Live, one-to-one therapy, wherever you are.
Online speech-language therapy over secure video with the same licensed therapist each week. It's real therapy, not a worksheet on a screen — and for many children it works as well as in-person sessions, with no travel and easier scheduling.
What it is
What online sessions look like.
Sessions run 30, 45 or 60 minutes over a secure video link. Your therapist shares games, books and activities on screen and directs play with the things you have at home. For toddlers, a caregiver sits alongside and becomes part of the session; older children and teens often work more independently.
Telepractice is recognised by ASHA as an appropriate way to deliver speech-language services when it suits the child and the goals. On the free consult we'll tell you honestly whether it's a good fit — and if we think in-home would serve your child better, we'll say so.
You'll need a laptop or tablet with a camera, a stable internet connection and a quiet-ish corner. We send a short guide before the first session so setup takes minutes, not an evening.
What to expect
How an online session goes.
Setup and check-in
Camera on, toys nearby, two minutes on how the week went.
Screen and floor
Interactive activities on screen, real play on your floor — your therapist directs both.
Caregiver as co-therapist
For young children you run the activity; your therapist coaches you live.
The plan for the week
Two or three things to practise, sent to you in writing after the session.
Who it's for
Who teletherapy suits best.
Families outside the areas our therapists visit in person
School-age children and teens working on language, literacy, stuttering or social communication
Busy households where travel time is the barrier
Children who focus well with a screen and a familiar grown-up beside them
Families adding sessions between home visits, for goals that need frequent practice
Continuity when a family moves or travels
Questions parents ask
Before you book
It can, when a caregiver is part of the session — the therapist coaches you to run the play, which is exactly how early-language therapy works in person too. Very young children who can't yet engage with a screen may do better with home visits; we'll tell you which we recommend.
Yes. Sessions run on a platform built for healthcare use, and nothing is recorded without your written consent.
It happens. Your therapist will call you to reconnect, and if a session is badly disrupted we'll make the time up.
We'll tell you on the consult call and put it in writing before you book. KidSLP is private pay; you receive a monthly superbill to submit for any out-of-network benefits.
Every voice grows differently. Let's talk about yours.
Fifteen minutes with a licensed speech-language pathologist. No forms about your child's health, no commitment — just a conversation about what you're noticing.
