Telehealth services are live online consultations. You simply log onto your computer/tablet from the comfort of your home and connect with your Speech Pathologist. Your therapist will engage with you or your child using online activities, workbooks, online games and videos. Telehealth sessions have been proven to be just as effective as face to face sessions.
