Empowering Communication with Face to Face & Telehealth Therapy

At Capability Support Services, our Speech Therapists help enhance communication skills, including speech articulation, language comprehension, social communication, and swallowing challenges. We offer personalised face to face & telehealth therapy that’s flexible and accessible, catering to the unique needs of each individual. This approach is especially beneficial for those with complex needs, such as Level 3 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or attention difficulties, who may find telehealth more engaging than in-person sessions.

Our face to face & telehealth model is designed to be effective and convenient, with caregivers or support workers facilitating the process. We also offer AAC assessments and setup through telehealth, ensuring participants receive the appropriate communication tools.

Face to face & telehealth therapy is supported by evidence, particularly in areas like dysphagia and mealtime management. Research shows that telehealth assessments for these issues are just as effective as face-to-face visits, providing high-quality care to those in remote or rural areas. A study in the American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology demonstrates the success of telehealth for dysphagia, validating its benefits. You can explore the research here: Telehealth for Dysphagia Assessment.

We are committed to making communication support accessible and effective, ensuring every individual can engage confidently with those around them.
