TELETHERAPY - HOW IT WORKS

Teletherapy is accessing services via online video call or phone call. We conduct all assessments and therapy via Teletherapy, meaning you can access services located anywhere in Australia.

Just like face-to-face sessions, Teletherapy will be tailored to each individual's needs, capacity, and goals. For example, online therapy may look like one of the following:

• 1:1 sessions with therapist and client engaging.
• Therapist coaching a parent/carer/support worker/etc. to work through activities with the client, providing feedback and adaptations along the way. 
• Therapist and parent/carer engaging in frequent sessions, problem solving, reflecting, learning, and celebrating progress. 
• Therapist attending external consults through video conference (e.g. care team meetings and school meetings).

• Access to therapy from anywhere in Australia.
• Access to therapy in the safety and comfort of your own home. 
• Time efficient as no need to travel to a clinic. 
• Therapy in the home with familiar toys and equipment which makes it functional and easy to replicate.
• Access to therapy outside regular work hours, including weekends. 

 Depending on the individual and goals, Teletherapy will be conducted either via video conference (Zoom) or through a phone call. When engaging in a Zoom session, the therapist will send out a link prior to the session along with any resources you may need (e.g. pen, paper). 

To get the most out of your online session, it is recommended you have access to:

• A device with audio and camera (computer, tablet, smartphone)
• A quiet space
• A reliable internet or phone connection
• Depending on goals, the therapist may also send a list of resources to have available in each session. These will be household items that can be adapted to whatever you already have at home. 

It may look a little different for each individual, but Teletherapy options are available to everyone.
