Frequently Asked Questions
How does online speech therapy work ?
Online speech therapy is just like in-person therapy, but it takes place over a secure video call. A qualified speech and language therapist will work with you or your child using engaging activities, exercises, and real-time feedback to support communication goals. Sessions are tailored to individual needs, and all you need is a stable internet connection and a quiet space.
Is online speech therapy as effective as face to face sessions?
Yes, for many people, online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions. In some cases, it can even be more beneficial because it allows therapy to take place in a familiar, comfortable setting. Therapists use interactive tools and techniques to make sessions engaging and productive, and progress is regularly monitored to ensure therapy is working.
Do I need special equipment for online therapy ?
No, you don’t need any special equipment—just a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a camera and microphone, along with a stable internet connection. Your therapist may also suggest simple household items or printable resources to use during sessions to make therapy more interactive.
