Online Speech and Language Therapy & AAC Support
Bringing Expert Communication Support to You – Wherever You Are
At Access to Communication, we understand that accessibility is key when it comes to speech and language therapy (SLT) and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) support. That’s why we offer high-quality online therapy services designed to meet the needs of individuals of all ages, no matter where they are located.
Our remote services provide the same high level of expertise and personalised support as our in-person sessions, giving you or your loved one the opportunity to develop communication skills in a comfortable and familiar environment.
Who Can Benefit from Online Therapy?
Our online therapy services are tailored for individuals who may experience difficulties such as:
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) users – individuals who use communication aids such as picture boards, speech-generating devices, and apps.
Speech and language difficulties – including delays, disorders, and difficulties with articulation and fluency.
Autism and social communication needs – supporting individuals in developing functional communication strategies.
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) – structured interventions to improve language comprehension and expression.
Speech sound disorders – covering phonological disorders, dyspraxia, and articulation difficulties.
Selective Mutism and reluctant talkers – gradual and supportive techniques to build communication confidence.
Neurodivergent individuals – tailored strategies to enhance communication and social interaction skills.
Online therapy is an excellent option for those who may have difficulty accessing in-person services due to distance, mobility difficulties, or other barriers.
