Online Speech Therapy for Kids Sydney
Speech therapy helps children communicate to the best of their ability, through spoken language, non-verbal communication, and, where needed, support with feeding.
Telehealth Therapy From the Comfort of Home
Telehealth speech therapy involves delivering speech and language therapy services online, using videocall. This can be an alternative to face-to-face speech therapy when you’re unable to attend our clinic due to travel, distance, or when your or your child are unwell.
Online sessions can involve
- Assessment: We are able to assess your child’s speech and language abilities through video call, where the we interacts with your child and observe their communication skills. We are also able to use assessment tools via an online platform to assess communication.
- Therapy Sessions: Sessions are live, real-time sessions conducted via video call. We engage your child in various activities and exercises designed to improve their speech and language skills and incorporate interactive tools such as digital games, and visuals to make the sessions engaging and effective.
- Training and Support: Parents are often involved in the therapy process. Sessions incorporate guidance and training to parents on how to support your child’s progress at home. This might include strategies for practicing speech exercises and creating a conducive environment for communication. We also regularly use telehealth to meet with parents to discuss your child’s progress, set new goals, and provide training.
Telehealth speech therapy is an effective alternative way to support child’s communication goals. Get in touch with us if you would like your child to attend telehealth speech therapy.
How does speech therapy help children?
- Early speech and language difficulties - if a child has a speech or communication difficulty, early support matters. The sooner a child starts therapy, the better the outcomes tend to be.
- Cognitive-communication difficulties - some children find it hard to remember information, hold attention, organise their thoughts, or problem solve, all of which affect communication.
- Receptive language difficulties - trouble understanding and processing what is said to them.
- Expressive language difficulties - trouble putting words together, a limited vocabulary, or difficulty using language in a socially appropriate way.

What Parents Says
Frequently Asked Questions
Is online speech therapy as effective as in-person therapy for children?
There is no minimum age. If your child is talking and stuttering, we can assess them, even from two years old.
At what age can children do online therapy?
We see children of all ages online. Younger children have a parent alongside to help guide the activities, while older children often manage much of the session independently.
What do I need for an online session?
A laptop, tablet, or computer with a camera, a reliable internet connection, and a quiet space. We send you a simple link to join, so there is no complicated setup.
What if my child will not sit still in front of a screen?
That is normal, and our sessions are designed for it. We build in movement, play, and hands-on activities away from the screen, so therapy does not rely on your child sitting still the whole time.
