Whilst you are supporting the nation by staying at home, Apple Tree is now delivering speech and language therapy online (known as Teletherapy). We have been learning new strategies to keep children engaged in online sessions and have received encouragingly positive feedback from parents. 

Even young children have been amazingly attentive and enjoyed interacting with the therapist through the screen such as feeding online puppets cakes and tea!  Although it looks a bit different from regular therapy, we are able to carry out all the usual speech and language therapy games as well as adding some extra digital activities.  ​

What to expect in therapy

​We are offering different types of therapy to children of differing ages with a wide range of difficulties. Some of the approaches we are using include:
  • Online parent coaching using video clips or live play sessions at home. This is particularly suitable for very young children.
  • Direct therapy with children using toys at home and with the therapist modelling activities using her toys.  
  • Direct therapy sharing interesting online activities and paper resources such as pictures and books through screen sharing and a digital camera.
  • Online parent workshops. We are offering Hanen courses in supporting speech and language for groups of parents and carers.
