We find this therapy works well for:
Children who are able to be observed by the therapist through the web cam. We would also engage in asking parents questions about their child’s development.
We often find that children are excited to be able to see the therapist via the computer and some children will readily sit and respond to therapy materials that the therapist shows them.
Children are highly motivated by technology and so online therapy can really capture their interests, so therapy does not feel like work!
Equally, those children who are either too young or a little timid of the computer can be observed by the therapist through the live webcam interacting normally within their own home. The therapist can highlight to the parents/carers a list of activities which they would like to observe and then provide structured feedback time at the end of the session.
