One of the unique aspects of CliniKids is the integration of clinical services with cutting-edge research. Our exceptional team of researchers work in collaboration with our clinicians to give the community access to the world's best evidence-based therapies.
Here you'll find a wealth of information and resources to help support your child.
Telehealth service delivery is used extensively in allied health to provide services to individuals who are not able to attend therapy sessions face to face. At CliniKids, we can provide Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy and Paediatric Autism Communication Therapy (PACT) through telehealth.
In the context of CliniKids, telehealth is the use of video conferencing to provide you and your family with access to early support therapies, education, and support from qualified allied health professionals.
Telehealth is the use of technology to deliver clinical services at a distance by linking the clinician, client and caregiver/s for assessment, support, and consultation. Just like face-to-face services, telehealth can be delivered in different ways. Telehealth can be a phone call, video call or email.
At CliniKids we are committed to continuing to work in partnership with you to work towards your child’s goals as well as check in with you. To continue to support your child and family we can individualise telehealth sessions to meet the needs or your child and family. There are different ways that telehealth can be used including:
In the moment coaching: This involves the clinician supporting you to use specific strategies whilst you are interacting with your child during a video call.
These strategies will be linked to your child’s goals.
At CliniKids we can be flexible in how we deliver telehealth services. We now offer assessment, therapy and ongoing management for children and their families through telehealth. Telehealth has developing research in a range of areas. We are committed to using best practice within telehealth and developing further research in this area.
