Telepractice (Distance Learning) Services
Although in-person therapy is the most traditional model, speech and language services may also be delivered remotely via a telepractice model. In this model, the speech therapist interacts with the student through a HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing platform. Speech-language pathologists may also conduct evaluations via videoconferencing and using digital versions of assessment tools. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) affirms that telepractice is considered an appropriate model of service delivery for speech-language pathologists, when clinically appropriate. Further, ASHA notes that telepractice may be used to overcome barriers of access to service, such as distance or unavailability of specialists.
