What telehealth can look like
What can an online session look like for your child?
Teena can guide conversation or activities over video. Depending on your child's age and goals, a parent or carer may sit beside them or join part of the session. Avanti checks that setup first.
Before the session
Set up a familiar space
Use a tablet or computer in a comfortable place. Avanti will explain whether a parent or carer should sit beside the child or stay nearby.
During the session
Teena adapts the online setup
Teena guides conversation or activities by video and adjusts the setup to the child’s age, communication goals and engagement on the day.
Suitability first
Use another setting when needed
If online is not the right setting for what the clinician needs to observe or support, Avanti will explain a more appropriate next step.
Not sure whether your child will engage over video? That is part of the suitability check. You do not need to decide before enquiring.
What to send first
One message, fewer phone calls - what to include.
Tell us what you have noticed about your child's speech or communication, in your own words. Add any funding, referral or school context you already have.
- Child's age and postcode
- What you have noticed at home, childcare or school
