Telepractice

What services can I receive?

We can provide assessment, therapy, intervention, advice, consultation and professional support.

Who can be involved?

An online speech pathology or occupational therapy session can occur between:

• your speech pathologist / occupational therapist, and you
• your speech pathologist / occupational therapist, with you as part of a group
• your speech pathologist / occupational therapist, you and you can have other health professionals who support you
• you, your teacher, tutor, and other family members who support you

How will the quality of therapy sessions be achieved?

We are using the current best-evidence in using telepractice, so we can achieve the standard level of care to you. 

We will take into account your visual and hearing skills, your level of ability, to include your attention, and concentration.

We are committed to supporting your communication and swallowing needs through arranging video conferencing appointments at a time that suits you. 

You can have support people present, such as family or carers. We can invite other support services, such as your occupational therapists, psychologist, and specialists.

We can provide education, training and advice to those who communicate with you in your day to day life.

Is the online service secure, and will my privacy be maintained?

Our telepractice session will be strictly private, and this will be at the same level you would expect in our clinic.

We are committed to using telecommunications technology that is encrypted to cloud and privacy laws.

Can I change my times and days?
