Australian Therapy Services

Australian Therapy Services delivers speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and learning support entirely online, from therapists based in Australia. Families in Bangkok book sessions the same way families in Malaysia, Vietnam and Australia do, which makes it one of the few options that does not depend on where in the city you live or how bad the traffic is on a Tuesday afternoon.

The practice is fronted by speech language pathologist Lorelle Evans. Sessions are set up so that a parent or a class teacher can sit in and watch, which matters if you want the strategies carried across into the classroom rather than staying locked inside the therapy hour. Listed hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 22:00, which covers most Bangkok school timetables.

Online therapy is not right for every child. Very young children, children who need hands-on occupational therapy, and children who struggle to stay at a screen usually do better in a room with a therapist. It suits older children, follow-up blocks and families outside easy reach of the Sukhumvit clinics.
