"Working with Tom has been the biggest blessing to our family. He relates incredibly well to my child, putting him at ease, enabling him to eloquently express how he feels and working on both the practical and psychological aspects at play. It is difficult to express enough how much our family have benefitted from working together with Tom."

"The sessions with Sarah have really been very beneficial as it's helped my daughter increase her confidence and also taught her ongoing learning techniques for when she is struggling. It's also helped us as parents on how to continue to support her as much as possible."

THERAPY THAT WORKS
Designed to engage and motivate
Our gamified video platform is the result of years of research into how to engage and motivate children, so they get the most out of their therapy. Designed by our team of therapists, education specialists and psychologists, it features games, activities and resources which bring therapeutic concepts to life and explain ‘big ideas’ in a simple way. The familiarity of the online platform is also proven to reduce anxiety and accelerate progress.
TECHNOLOGY THAT ENHANCES THERAPY
Does online therapy really work?
Studies show that online Speech & Language therapy can be just as effective as 'in-person' sessions. In fact, as 'digital natives', children and young people often prefer accessing therapy this way, as it's more familiar and less daunting than a clinical setting.
Our interactive platform is custom-built to deliver children's Speech & Language Therapy, and every activity and resource is designed to accelerate communication skills. It offers increased accessibility, flexibility, and comfort, increasing the child's chances of seeing therapy through and achieving their therapeutic goals.
CONNECTING WITH CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE
Our platform improves outcomes
Creativity is central to our online Speech & Language service, providing a powerful tool for supporting children and young people in their communication journey. Creative activities such as drawing, storytelling, and imaginative play offer a safe, engaging way for children to express emotions and ideas that may be difficult to articulate through words alone. These approaches are particularly beneficial for those with expressive language and communication needs.
Creativity is effective across all ages - not just for young children. For teenagers, it offers a valuable way to explore thoughts and ideas in a more abstract way. This promotes self-expression, confidence, self-esteem and ommunication skills, and is a great way to engage reluctant learners.
By integrating creativity into our therapy sessions, Mable Therapy empowers children and young people to communicate more freely, process their emotions, and grow in confidence, all while making therapy a fun and meaningful experience.
Engagement is critical in Speech & Language sessions, as children and young people need to feel connected to the process for the therapy to be effective. At Mable Therapy, we've done extensive research to create a platform that resonates with children and young people's interests, incorporating technology commonly used in interactive apps, gaming and social media. This familiarity helps children and young people feel more comfortable, making the sessions feel less intimidating. When children and young people are comfortable and relaxed, it builds trust and rapport with their therapist, making them more likely to embrace the tasks and participate in the sessions fully.
For younger children, engagement is especially important as the early years are a crucial stage of development. Parents and guardians play a vital role in this process, and Mable supports them with integrating therapeutic techniques into everyday routines. Simple activities like play or storytelling can be transformed into valuable learning experiences, and our speech and language therapists support parents and carers with how to engage their children in this.
At Mable, we incorporate game-like elements such as rewards, levels, and interactive challenges, to make our Speech & Language sessions more engaging and motivating. This approach taps into children's natural affinity for technology and play, making therapy feel less intimidating and more enjoyable. By integrating these elements, we create an environment where children are excited to participate and look forward to their sessions.
Through gamified activities, children can learn communication skills, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills in a fun, interactive way. These activities can help them practice real-life scenarios in a low-pressure environment, allowing for deeper reflection and learning. Gamification also provides a sense of achievement and progress, which can boost resilience and self-esteem, and encourage the child to engage more deeply in their Speech & Language sessions.
