We love being able to support our families with flexible telehealth speech therapy. It’s a service that all of our speech therapy clinics offer, and something that we’ve worked hard to refine over the years so that we can offer our clients an exceptional experience.
With that, we’re always on the lookout for new online games to incorporate into telehealth speech therapy sessions for our paediatric clients. We’ve come across a whole bunch recently that we’re sure you’ll love to use too!
If you are a paediatric speech pathologist offering telehealth speech therapy, we think you’ll love these online games just as much as we do. Keep on reading for the full list.
7 Online Games for Telehealth Speech Therapy
Kokolingo
This user-friendly, web-based app is filled to the brim with interactive online games perfect for telehealth speech therapy sessions. There are plenty of speech therapy games on this app that you can use to practice articulation with your clients during a telehealth session.
We particularly love the Treasure Island themed articulation hierarchy. There is so much to love about Kokolingo, including plenty of sentences to practice, activities that support generalisation, and real videos.
Owlie Boo
This educational games website is the perfect addition to a paediatric telehealth speech therapy session. Perfect for preschoolers, these games feature simple controls like pressing keys, moving a mouse, and clicking and dragging objects. Take a look at Owlie Boo today to see if it is right for some of your clients!
Go Noodle
This website offers a whole range of videos that can be used to create highly interactive telehealth speech therapy sessions for children and adolescents. One of the things we love most about Go Noodle is the age-appropriate regulation strategies and the many tutorial videos available on the site.
Highlights Kids
There are so many games to choose from on Highlights Kids! This is another website to add to your telehealth speech therapy toolkit. It’s brimming with different colourful and highly engaging games that you can use in your telehealth sessions. We particularly enjoy using it for hidden picture games for language and articulation-focused sessions.
Mr Nussbaum
Finally, here’s another learning game website with a wholesome origin story to boot. You’ll find plenty of relevant resources to choose from on Mr Nussbaum to create an engaging telehealth speech therapy session in no time.
Bluey – Keepy Uppy
If you haven’t read our article on Bluey-themed speech therapy activities, we’d highly recommend heading over there after reading this! Bluey is a mainstay in our Aussie speech therapy clinics, so it makes sense that we had to include an online Bluey game in our list of telehealth speech therapy ideas. Keepy Uppy is a simple game you can add in to any online speech therapy session – either as an activity on its own, or as a reward once your client has achieved their target sounds/words during a session.
ABCYA
ABCya! Has been around for a while now, but we couldn’t make a list of online games without mentioning this one! If you are just getting started in your telehealth journey, this is an essential site to add to your list of resources. There are so many learning games to choose from, including some great games to add as rewards post-session and even some games you can incorporate into your main session activities. Have a look at all of the incredible options over at ABCya!.
