Online Speech Therapy and Counselling

Although we can work on a completely ad-hoc basis where your school can spend credits individually, our partners at Mable Therapy have also created pathways for common presentations which give you a good idea of how many credits to allocate for individual courses of therapy.

A pathway is a discrete piece of work that follows a pre-planned course over a pre-planned number of weeks. This way, budget can be allocated to a specific child and results easily evidenced at the end of the pathway. If you are unsure which pathway is suitable for a child, please talk to one of the clinical team or book the child in for an assessment. Once assessed, the team at Mable will then make recommendations going forward. 

Every child is different, these pathways are not guarantees of a specific achievement. Some may take longer and some may achieve their goal much faster. 

Mable therapists all have an up-to-date Disclosure and Barring Service check. These are carried out on all staff whose roles involve contact with children and/or vulnerable adults. Mable employ a three-year rolling programme of re-checking DBS certificates for holders of all identified posts.

All staff who, through their role, are in contact with children and/or vulnerable adults complete safeguarding training to level 3 or above. Sources and types of training will include the following courses: Working Together to Safeguard Children and Young People; Child Sexual Exploitation; Recognising and Responding to Neglect; Safeguarding Training for Managers; Vulnerability and Risk; Working with Hard to Engage Parents and Carers.

Mable uses two video services providers (Mable video and Vonage). Both platforms are secure and provide industry-leading information and cybersecurity measures designed from the bottom up for a cloud-based environment. This includes enablement for compliance and regulation guidelines, such as HIPAA, HITECH and HITRUST to address privacy regulatory requirements for our healthcare, and global privacy standards through the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Any laptop or a desktop computer with a webcam will work fine. If you have a tablet, such as an iPad or a Samsung Galaxy, then Mable should work on those too. As a rule of thumb, if you can video chat on the device then you can use it for Mable. Unfortunately, mobile phones are not usable as the therapists use tools which won’t fit on such small displays.

Yes. Teletherapy is very popular in the US and in Australia but is starting to be used worldwide.
