Facilitated Telehealth
OT and SLP at Beanies
At Beanies Family Support, we’re proud to partner with Umbo, one of Australia’s leading providers of Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology via telehealth. Together, we bring high-quality, accessible therapy to families across the Huon Valley and beyond.
How Our Model Works
We offer Facilitated Telehealth Appointments, which means you receive the expertise of a qualified OT or Speech Pathologist and the hands-on help of a Beanies Allied Health Assistant. All in the setting that suits you best:
-
In-Clinic: Our dedicated therapy rooms are equipped with high-quality technology, sensory tools, and resources to make sessions engaging and effective.
-
In Schools: We work closely with teachers and support staff to run sessions on-site at your child’s school, making therapy practical and consistent with their daily environment.
-
At Home: For children who feel most comfortable in their own space, we bring our technology and support to you.
No need to stress about Wi-Fi drops, setting up webcams, or managing tricky tech, we take care of that for you.
Why Families Choose Beanies
-
Reduced Wait Times: Because we partner with Umbo and run sessions locally, families can access therapy faster than traditional in-person waitlists.
-
A Friendly Face In the Room: A Beanies team member is always physically present to guide activities, support engagement, regulate emotions, and ensure the therapist’s goals are carried out effectively.
-
NDIS-Friendly: All sessions can be funded through NDIS plans. Not sure how it works or whether your child is eligible? We’ll walk you through it.
-
Consistent, Holistic Support: Our team collaborates across home, school, and community settings so kids experience support that feels connected and consistent — not stop-start.
More Than a Screen
Even though your therapist joins via telehealth, the Beanies experience is still warm, hands-on, and personal. Kids get real-life interaction and support, parents feel guided and reassured, and therapists get high-quality insights through our team on the ground.
