Access expert Online Speech Therapy Australia-wide support that fits around school, work, and family life. Advantage Therapy delivers personalized, engaging virtual speech pathology for children and adolescents, helping them build clearer speech, stronger language skills, and more confident communication from the comfort of home.
Our Online speech therapy help with: Speech sounds and clarity (articulation / phonology) – Language and comprehension (receptive + expressive language) – Stuttering and fluency – Social communication and conversation skills – Voice quality and vocal care (where appropriate)
Online Speech Therapy (also called telehealth speech therapy or virtual speech pathology) uses secure video appointments to connect your family with an experienced speech pathologist—without travel, long waiting rooms, or location limits Online sessions can be used for assessment, ongoing therapy, parent coaching, and home-program reviews. Because therapy happens in your child’s real environment, it often becomes easier to practise skills in everyday routines (e.g., mealtimes, reading, play, getting ready for school).
Our online speech therapists support communication development through evidence-based assessment and tailored intervention. Depending on your child’s goals, sessions may include direct practice, play-based activities, coaching for parents/carers, and clear home strategies. Common areas we support include:
We help children produce speech sounds more clearly and consistently. This can include: - sound awareness (hearing and noticing sounds) - learning the correct mouth placement for sounds - practising sounds in words, sentences, and conversation - improving overall intelligibility so others can understand them more easily
We build both receptive language (understanding) and expressive language (using words and sentences). Support may include: - vocabulary growth and word finding - following instructions - grammar and sentence structure - storytelling / narrative skills - classroom language demands (where relevant)
We support children who stutter with strategies that reduce struggle and build confidence. Therapy is adapted to age and need and may involve: - understanding stuttering and reducing fear or avoidance - speech strategies for smoother talking - parent education to support communication at home and school
We help children develop the skills needed to connect with others, including: - turn-taking and topic maintenance - understanding non-verbal cues (facial expression, body language) - repair strategies (what to do if someone doesn’t understand) - confidence in group and classroom interactions.

Telehealth Expertise
Thorough Online Assessment and Clear Goals
Personalised, Child-Friendly Sessions
Family-Centred Support
Less travel means easier scheduling and better attendance—both key for steady progress.
Learning in the home environment helps children practise communication in real-life situations, not just inside a clinic room.
Telehealth naturally supports parent coaching. You can see strategies live, ask questions, and apply techniques between sessions.
Speech and language skills influence classroom learning—following instructions, answering questions, reading and writing, and social participation.
When children feel understood, they often become more willing to speak up, join in, and try new communication challenges.
Sessions can be adjusted over time—intensive blocks, maintenance support, review sessions, or new-goal planning.
Online speech therapy can be a great fit if your child: – is hard to understand compared to peers – gets frustrated when communicating – has difficulty following instructions or answering questions – stutters or avoids speaking – struggles with conversation, friendships, or classroom participation – has concerns related to neurodivergence (e.g., autism, ADHD) and communication needs
Book an initial consultation to share your concerns, ask questions, and discuss what support might look like.
We learn about developmental history, daily communication needs, school context (if relevant), and your priorities.
Assessment may include observation, informal tasks, caregiver interview, and targeted activities to identify strengths and needs.
We explain findings in plain language and agree on clear goals and an action plan.
What You Need for Online Speech Therapy Sessions
To get the best out of telehealth speech therapy, we recommend: – a stable internet connection – a laptop or tablet where possible (phones can work, but a bigger screen helps) – a quiet space with minimal background noise – a small set of items nearby (e.g., paper, pencils, a few toys, or school materials—your therapist will advise) – a parent/carer present (especially for younger children) to support setup and practice
If your child is struggling with motor skill development, social interactions or sensory processing, our occupational therapy for children services can assist them to develop new skills and enhance their quality of life.
Paediatric Online Speech Therapy
Our paediatric speech pathologists take a play-based, child-friendly approach while keeping therapy focused and goal-driven. Sessions are designed to be: – engaging and motivating – supportive of attention and regulation needs – practical for families to carry over at home

We focus on: – building on strengths – supporting functional communication and self-advocacy – collaborating with families to create environments that reduce communication barriers – using respectful, affirming strategies that protect confidence and wellbeing

Support for difficulties understanding language, expressing ideas, learning new words, or using grammar and sentence structure.
Support to reduce struggle and avoidance, build confident communication, and educate families and schools where relevant.
If your child is consistently hard to understand, has trouble following instructions, avoids speaking, or struggles socially, an assessment can help clarify what’s going on and what support will help.
For many children and goals, telehealth speech therapy can be highly effective—especially when sessions are personalised and families have simple strategies to practise at home.
Yes—online sessions can be highly interactive. We use games, visuals, movement breaks, and child-led activities to keep motivation high.
Your therapist will provide short, practical home activities that fit daily routines. Consistent practice is often the biggest driver of progress.
Timelines vary. Some children benefit from short blocks of therapy; others need longer-term support. We’ll review goals regularly and adjust the plan as your child grows.
