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.
