What is Telehealth in Speech Therapy?
Attending therapy sessions online is becoming more popular.
Telehealth is a modern approach that offers more flexibility for therapists and ease of access for their clients.
When using telehealth, a speech pathologist can bring their expertise directly to their patients through video calls, screen sharing, and interactive activities. When working online, a therapist can work with individuals of all ages to assess, diagnose, and treat many communication challenges.
Speech pathologists create a personalised therapy plan, providing guidance and support to improve speech sound production, language use, reading and writing skills, and social communication. They also educate families and caregivers, equipping them with strategies to reinforce progress in daily life.
Below are some of the services we have to offer you. If you have an enquiry about our services, click 'here.'
Speech Therapy​
A speech sound disorder can be any difficulty making sounds when talking. Using fun and interactive therapy, patients of all ages can seek speech sound therapy. Early intervention is key when supporting young talkers. Many sound errors are 'age appropriate,' but if you are concerned about someone's speech sounds, book an online consultation.​​
Accent Modification
​Accent modification is a fascinating part of a speech and language therapist's work. French and English speakers can work to refine their accent in either language. ​Accent modification can enhance communication clarity, boost confidence, and improve social and professional interactions. It’s a collaborative process that requires commitment and practice but can be incredibly rewarding. In online sessions, you may practice distinguishing between similar sounds in English or French, use recordings for listening exercises, and role-play common conversations and situations to apply your new pronunciation skills.
Language Intervention
We use language every day when talking and listening. These skills are important for conversation, writing a text message, doing homework, and general conversation and social skills!
When using online therapy, you will engage with programs and activities, such as Colourful Semantics and Story Champs, to develop your skills.

Voice Disorders
Speech and language therapists are trained in assessing, diagnosing, and treating voice problems and discomfort. Therapy techniques can include breathing exercises, vocal warm-ups that help relax the muscles when talking, and training for pitch and/or volume changes. Voice therapy can also involve vocal hygiene to ensure you drink enough water, avoiding or minimising damaging behaviours such as yelling, and identifying and reducing irritants such as excessive smoking or drinking coffee or alcohol.
Literacy Support
Literacy is the incredible skill of reading and writing. Literacy is critical for understanding information in the real world and can pave the way for personal growth and academic success. Scott is a trained Sounds Write practitioner and can support learners from school age through adulthood. There is no age limit when it comes to building literacy skills.​​
Academic Support
A speech and language therapist plays a critical role in providing academic support for students with language or literacy difficulties. Individual support can ensure a student's difficulties are understood and support strategies can be identified. By addressing speech, language and literacy concerns in the classroom, students can reach their full potential and not be held back by communication deficits. It is a basic human right that everyone has access to an education. Steps to ensuring all students receive equal opportunities is a satisfying part of being a speech and language therapist.
