If you’re worried that your child isn’t meeting their speech or language milestones, finding the right support is a top priority. While in-person therapy has traditionally been the go-to option, today’s busy schedules and changing lifestyles mean families often need more flexible solutions.
At Mosaic Speech Therapy, we’ve created a teletherapy program that brings high-quality, evidence-based speech delay intervention straight to your home—whether you’re in Edmonton or anywhere in Alberta. This guide breaks down exactly how our online speech delay therapy works and why so many families trust this approach.
Why Teletherapy Works for Speech Delay
Online speech therapy is backed by strong research and years of successful outcomes. At Mosaic Speech Therapy, our teletherapy success comes from three core pillars:
1. Family-Centered Care
Parents and caregivers play a vital role in a child’s communication development. Our therapists collaborate closely with you, giving you the tools and strategies needed to support your child during everyday routines.
2. Play-Based, Engaging Sessions
Children learn best through play. That’s why our online sessions are filled with interactive games, digital activities, songs, stories, and guided use of toys or items you already have at home. We make screen time meaningful and fun.
3. Effective, Secure Technology
We use a secure, healthcare-approved video platform with features like interactive games, whiteboards, and visual tools. These make each session dynamic, engaging, and effective for targeting specific speech and language goals.
How Our Speech Delay Teletherapy Works: Step-by-Step
We’ve streamlined our process to make online therapy easy and comfortable for your family.
Step 1: Online Consultation & Assessment
We start with an in-depth virtual consultation to learn about your child’s history, your concerns, and your family’s goals.
Next, we complete a combination of formal and informal standardized assessments adapted for teletherapy, along with play-based observation. We use informal assessments when appropriate, because not every child requires formal testing to understand their needs.
From there, we create a personalized therapy plan tailored to your child’s needs.
Step 2: Preparing Your Home for Success
Before your first session, we help you set up a distraction-free space.
Typically, you’ll need:
- A computer or tablet with a webcam
- A steady internet connection
- A few simple items like toys, crayons, or a mirror
Your therapist will guide you on exactly what’s needed based on your child’s goals.
Step 3: What Happens During an Online Therapy Session
Each teletherapy session includes both direct therapy and real-time parent coaching.
A typical session includes:
- Warm-up Activity
A familiar song or game helps your child ease into the session. - Targeted Intervention With Your Involvement
The therapist leads structured activities designed to build sounds, vocabulary, phrases, or communication skills. You’ll sit with your child and follow the therapist’s cues. - Play-Based Learning
Activities may include interactive stories, digital puzzles, or games that naturally encourage your child to practice target words and sounds. - Parent Debrief
At the end, we review progress, answer your questions, and provide simple strategies you can use during the week.
Step 4: Support Between Sessions
You’ll receive access to a secure online portal with personalized resources, videos, and activity ideas.
We stay connected between sessions so you always feel supported.
