Convenient speech pathology for children in the comfort of your own home
Why Skype That Stutter?
Perfect for remote, rural & time-poor families
Families living in remote & rural areas often don’t have access to dedicated speech-pathology services or stuttering treatment. Many families are just time-poor with various work, school, creative & sporting activities.
Skype-That-Stutter offers these families access to simple, convenient & world-class stuttering treatment.
Research shows Online is comparable to in-clinic treatment
A 2016 study* confirmed the viability of the webcam-based Lidcombe program intervention. It appears to be as effective and economically viable as the standard, clinic-based Lidcombe Program treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does Skype that Stutter online treatment compare to in-clinic treatments?
A: We use exactly the same processes, diagnoses and treatment methods as we do in our own clinic. The experience and results are the same as face-to-face treatment because we are still face to face, just online in different rooms!
Q: Are there any health rebates?
A: Yes, if you have a health fund with extras cover, speech therapy is often covered but please check with your provider to confirm the details.
Q: Do you offer after-hours treatment?
A: Not at this stage however if you’re interested in after-hours session, please let us know in the form and we’ll advise if this changes in the future.
Q: How many sessions will my child need?
A: This will depend on the nature and severity of their stutter and it varies from child to child. After the initial consultation I’ll be able to provide more details on the best treatment plan for you moving forward.
Q: Why do you offer online/skype-based treatment?
A: Treating stuttering in children is my passion. Whilst I love working with kids in our clinic, providing telehealth allows me to help more people around the country who don’t normally have access to specialist stuttering therapy or simply find it too hard to get into a clinic.
