Common questions about online therapy

Is online therapy the same as in-person therapy?
While online therapy is delivered virtually, the targets, outcomes, and research are all underpinned by the same speech and langugage tools used in in-person therapy.

What if my child can't attend to a screen for that long?
We get it —working with young children means that we need to be dynamic and engaging. With online therapy, therapists can make sessions even more engaging and interactive, ensuring your child is always making progress.

Research led, tried and tested

On Equal Footing

Numerous studies have demonstrated that online speech and language therapy is as effective as in-person sessions for a variety of conditions, including articulation disorders, fluency issues, and language delays. For example, a systematic review published in The Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare found that teletherapy is comparable to face-to-face services in improving speech outcomes in children and adults.
