How SKYPE SLT services work ....

Speech & Language Therapy sessions provided using SKYPE are in conjunction with face-to-face SLT sessions and take the same format as face-to-face SLT sessions.  

Just like the face-to-face sessions activities specific to the child's communication difficulty are worked through, a summary is sent via email at the end of the session along with a personalised certificate for the child with specific feedback on their work in the session and a suggested activity to practice.  

However unlike the face-to-face sessions some of the activities are sent ahead via email and are available for reuse after the actual session.

Providing SLT sessions using SKYPE is the focus of my Phd research at University College London.  

It has been a successful project and a number of benefits have been identified.
