What is Teletherapy
We catch-up for our sessions via online video call. We conduct all assessment and therapy via teletherapy, therefore you can be located anywhere in Australia and still access a quality Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy Service!
What age groups do you work with?
We are currently seeing paediatric and young adult clients in the areas of Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology.
How long do appointments go for?
During the Initial Consultation, your Speech Pathologist/Occupational Therapist will develop an individualised plan for your child and discuss an appropriate time length for sessions. This will vary depending on the age of your child and their goals however sessions are usually 30-60 minutes in length.
Does my child need a referral to see a speech pathologist or occupational therapist?
We do not require you to have a written referral letter. If you have concerns regarding your child’s development please contact us.
Does my child need any resources or devices for their appointment?
To make the most of our teletherapy sessions, it is crucial for clients to have access to a computer or iPad, with microphone and camera. We have experienced and overcome many challenges with poor internet connection, so please enquire and we can try and figure out a plan!
Am I able to access funding or rebates for speech pathology or occupational therapy?
