At Active Eight we know that accessing in-person therapies and play may be difficult sometimes due to proximity to services. With teletherapy, you don’t have to be in Brisbane to utilise our therapy, you can be anywhere in Australia - or even the world.
Your Active Eight therapist will initially discuss suitability for telehealth with you over the phone. If suitable, they will then work collaboratively with your child and their support network to make each session engaging and dynamic. Within Active Eight’s mission to combine therapy and play and to innovate traditional methods of therapy to suit the modern family, your therapist will also keep things fun and imaginative, whilst working towards your child’s goals.
Our therapists may use positioning and verbal reinforcement to encourage participation in activities. Therapy delivered via telehealth could provide a unique opportunity for each therapist to be part of the everyday interactions at home, allowing strategies and adaptations to be catered for within each individual's home environment. Some members might even feel more confident to participate in the comfort of their own home, and it may allow them to directly apply new skills, ideas and therapies directly to their everyday life.
