Does Pinnacle Blooms Network offer online therapy?

When travel, work or distance stands between your child and the right therapist, the right care can still reach you — warmly, securely, and on schedule.

In short

Yes — Pinnacle Blooms Network offers online (tele-therapy) sessions so your child can receive expert speech, occupational, behavioural and developmental support from home, guided live by a qualified Pinnacle therapist. Online therapy is a genuine, structured continuation of in-centre care — not a watered-down version — and is ideal when you live far from a centre, are travelling, are unwell, or simply need flexibility around school and family life. For many children a blended path — some sessions in-centre, some online — works beautifully.

How online therapy works at Pinnacle

• Live, one-to-one sessions — your child works face-to-face with their own therapist over a secure video link, following the same individualised plan they would follow in centre.
• Parent as co-therapist — the therapist coaches you in real time so the skills carry into everyday routines at home, which is often where the biggest gains happen.
• Play-based and engaging — sessions use screen-friendly games, movement, songs and home objects so your child stays motivated and involved.
• Consistent and trackable — progress is reviewed just as it is in centre, and your plan is adjusted as your child grows.
• Flexible scheduling — easier appointment times that fit around school, siblings and work, with no travel.

Online therapy suits many goals — speech and language, social-communication, behaviour, parent coaching and follow-up reviews. Some needs (such as detailed hands-on feeding or sensory assessment, or the initial structured assessment) are best done in person, and your team will always guide you on the right mix for your child.

When in-centre is the better fit

Choose or add in-centre sessions when your child needs hands-on oral-motor or feeding work, intensive sensory-integration equipment, or a first comprehensive assessment. Your Pinnacle clinician will recommend the blend that gives your child the most progress.

The Pinnacle way

AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional — never from an app or online form alone. Once your child's structured AbilityScore® profile is in place, your team can deliver much of the ongoing plan through secure online speech and developmental therapy. With 70+ centres across 4 states, 700+ therapists and 25 million+ therapy sessions, that same expertise reaches your home wherever you are — explore how Pinnacle supports your family.
