What the Evidence Says About Telehealth for Speech Therapy

Research consistently shows that online speech therapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for many children. It ensures the continuity of care for hundreds of thousands of Australian patients.  

What does this mean for your family? It means that distance is no longer a barrier to top-quality care. Children in rural areas, those with mobility challenges, or families juggling busy schedules can all access expert speech therapy without compromise.

The benefits go beyond convenience. Many children feel more comfortable and confident in their home environment, leading to more engaged sessions and faster progress. Plus, parents report feeling more involved in their child’s therapy, gaining skills to support communication development every day.

As technology advances, so does the quality of online therapy. Interactive tools, games, and activities specifically designed for virtual sessions keep children motivated and learning.

At Speech Clinic, we stay at the forefront of this research, continually refining our approach to provide the most effective, evidence-based care for your child. With online speech therapy, you’re not just keeping up—you’re giving your child a leading edge in communication development.

For such areas, we ensure that the highest levels of clinical planning, optimisation and evaluation occurs to ensure that the service is tailored for every individual child. It is critical that all therapy is tailored for each individual child and that time is taken to reflect upon whether a particular therapy approach and delivery option are suitable. Speech Clinic™ undertakes frequent reviews regardless of whether intervention is provided in the home environment or via telepractice.
