You can access our team of NZSTA Speech-Language Therapists from anywhere in New Zealand - via teletherapy
Teletherapy is an innovative approach to therapy. Speech therapy sessions occur through a secure video connection with your speech therapist. Teletherapy allows our clients to receive professional help without the limitations of distance, location, or time constraints. With the rise of modern technology, teletherapy provides unparalleled convenience and access to specialised speech assessment and treatment approaches. Teletherapy is proven to be as effective as in-person therapy for many cleints.
How does Teletherapy work?
Through a secure platform, an experienced speech therapist will engage with you via a two-way live video. Telehealth sessions are conducted in the same format as an in-person session. Opportunities for hands-on activities, interactive games, comprehensive evaluations, and personalised treatment plans are provided. For early intervention and some preschool age children, a parent or other adult is present to provide cueing and “hands-on” techniques or help with camera angles, if needed.
What are the benifits of Teletherapy?
Teletherapy offers the ultimate convenience. Our clients can receive therapy from the comfort of their own home, which eliminates the need to pack up and travel to a clinic.
Children are naturally drawn to technology, and teletherapy is no exception. The interactive platform, games, and comprehensive evaluations provided by the therapist keep children motivated and engaged throughout the session.
Teletherapy offers access to specialised clinicians and treatment approaches that are not available locally. Through teletherapy, our clients can access a clinician that has the right expertise and training for their individual needs.
Teletherapy offers the opportunity to be more involved in your child or loved ones therapy sessions. We will work with you as well as our client to learn and apply therapy strategies during and after each session.
