For Home-visiting speech and language therapists

AI call handling for
Home-visiting speech and language therapists.

A request for speech and language support at home may come from the person themselves, a parent, a relative or another professional. Ziverly can welcome the caller and gather the broad purpose, communication preferences and existing referral context while you are with another client, without attempting clinical triage or advice.

A familiar moment

The family asking whether a home appointment could make communication easier

You are in a focused session when a family member calls about support for an adult who finds clinic visits difficult. Ziverly can capture who is enquiring, their stated relationship without assuming authority, who may need support, preferred communication method, the broad reason for contact in the caller's own words, whether speech, language, voice, communication or swallowing has been raised by an existing professional, current GP, consultant, school, care or therapy involvement when volunteered, location, access, broad timing and preferred contact. It does not assess communication or swallowing, diagnose a condition, decide urgency, referral route, capacity, consent or suitability, give therapy, eating, drinking or clinical advice, request detailed medical information, quote, accept a referral or promise an appointment. Breathing difficulty, choking, sudden loss of speech, stroke signs, inability to swallow safely or other urgent concerns need the appropriate emergency or clinical route rather than routine follow-up.

Where Ziverly can help

More room for the work.
A clearer thread afterwards.

The caller may need a calmer pace

Communication preferences and who is helping with the enquiry can matter before any clinical information is discussed.

A broad concern is not an assessment

Speech, language, voice and swallowing needs require the right referral, consent and professional evaluation.

Sessions should remain uninterrupted

A prospective client can be acknowledged without drawing attention away from the person you are currently supporting.

What a better handover can change

Less interruption.
More useful context.

Communication preferences are visible

Review who is calling, how best to respond, the broad reason and existing professional involvement before making contact.

Clinical boundaries remain clear

Your approved wording can direct urgent concerns appropriately and keep assessment and advice with qualified professionals.

A gentle preparation question can persist

Add an approved referral, communication or access question for that known caller without requesting unnecessary medical detail.

Before, during and after the call

How Ziverly fits around
your working day.

☎Calls you choose≡Useful details→Your next step
  1. You decide which calls reach Ziverly.

    Use the call-diversion options supported by your mobile or landline service, such as no reply, unreachable, busy or rejected. Turn them off again whenever you want to answer normally, or use cover for evenings, weekends, holidays and unexpected time away.

  2. Your call details meet you where you are.

    Choose email or SMS alerts where enabled, then open Ziverly to review the summary, transcript, recording where available, status and priority.

    Review who is enquiring, communication preferences, the broad reason, existing professional involvement, location, access and preferred contact without unnecessary clinical detail.

  3. The next conversation starts further forwards.

    Add an AI-facing note when you want Ziverly to have more context if the same known caller rings again. Separate private notes stay private.

    Add an approved referral, communication or access question so Ziverly can use your latest preparation note if the family calls again.

  4. Open calls do not have to rely on memory.

    Choose a daily or weekly email summary of calls still waiting for attention, at the time that best fits your working day.

  5. You can check in by phone, too.

    With Owner Voice Access enabled, call your own Ziverly number, verify your PIN and manage the calls you are allowed to see.

    After the current session and confidential notes are secure, verify your PIN to hear only the therapy enquiries and statuses you are permitted to access.

You keep the judgement

Your expertise.
Your boundaries.

Speech and language therapist is an HCPC-protected title; swallowing work carries particular clinical risk and referral responsibilities.

You remain responsible for the advice you give, the work you accept and the safety, eligibility and professional checks your business requires.

A few practical questions

Before you
get started.

Talk it through →
Can Ziverly decide whether somebody needs speech and language therapy?

No. It gathers introductory context; referral, assessment and suitability remain with you and the relevant clinical team.

Will it give swallowing, communication or therapy advice?

No. It does not provide clinical guidance, and urgent swallowing or breathing concerns must use the appropriate clinical or emergency route.

Can it confirm that a home appointment is available?

No. Consent, referral, scope, location, fees and appointments remain within your professional process.
