Have you or your child got a speech and language difficulty? Are you having difficulty finding speech therapy services? Are private speech therapy sessions too expensive?
Tele-practice will be conducted live via an internet connection, and the therapist will communicate with you via an internet link which provides good sound quality, and where possible a webcam can also be used. Individuals should wear headphones and use a microphone. Therapy materials will be administered via the VDU screen, and additional materials and videos can be emailed to individuals. Therapy will in most cases be similar to service delivery in a face-to-face clinical environment.

He showed a high level of skill, understanding, and knowledge, to complete a thorough assessment of her needs and capabilities, and was then able to successfully obtain funding for a computerised device that meets those requirements. He also provided training, both at school and at home, to ensure everyone will get optimal use from it. His work was at all times thorough, considerate, professional, and of the highest calibre. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone requiring the specialist services of a Speech/Language Therapist".

Our 6 year old son actually looked forward to it every week, and we started to notice a difference in his speech within a few weeks". Sarah Rice, Chicago "It was difficult getting private speech therapy for our child because our town is miles from anywhere, thankfully we found online therapy". Danny Schouten, New Zealand "Johan Langfield undertook an assessment of the communication needs of our 15 year old daughter, who has severe multiple disabilities and is non-verbal.
