What online speech therapy is, and how a session works

Online speech and language therapy is the same therapy you would get in a clinic, delivered live over secure video instead of in a waiting room. You meet your CORU-registered therapist from home, on a laptop, tablet, or phone.

A first session is usually an informal assessment. The therapist gets to know you or your child, talks through your concerns, and looks at how speech and language are developing. After that, sessions mix practical activities with coaching, so the work continues between appointments. For younger children, a parent stays on the call and learns the strategies to practise at home.

All you need is a quiet room and a reliable internet connection. Sessions usually run 30 to 60 minutes, and you see each therapist’s rate, from €65, before you book.

Does online speech therapy work?

For most speech and language needs, the research is reassuring. A 2023 systematic review of more than 60 studies found online therapy produced outcomes broadly comparable to in-person across many areas, and it can work especially well for young children because they practise in their own home. It is not the right fit for everything, and a good therapist will tell you if your child would be better served in person or with a mix of both.
