Activity 1
When it comes to telepractice are
you…?
1. a flirt (checking it out)
2. courting (considering going further)
3. in a committed relationship
WHAT IT IS
• Any delivery of services via
telecommunications at a distance in time
or space is considered teletherapy.
• videoconferencing vs. phone conferencing
• real time (synchronous) vs. store-and-forward
SERVICE DELIVERY MODEL VS.
TECHNIQUE
• TELEPRACTICE IN SPEECH-LANGUAGE
PATHOLOGY IS NOT A TECHNIQUE – IT IS A
SERVICE DELIVERY MODEL
• Primary use of telepractice has been to allow
services to traditionally-underserved populations.
• Individuals with physical disabilities or mobility
limitations
• Individuals with in geographically-distant locations
• Specialty consultation
QUALITY OF SERVICES
• Professional competency –
• Principle II, Rule B states that clinicians “…shall engage in
only those aspects of the professions that are in their scope
of competence, considering their level of education,
training and experience.”
• Refer to ASHA Knowledge and Skills Document
QUALITY OF SERVICES
• Adherence to ethnical and legal guidelines
(including FERPA and HIPPA)
• Evidence-based practice
• Quality control
Legal Issues
• From Denton (2004)

the supervision requirements as specified in this rule.
R.C. 119.032
The components of EBP to consider in providing
telepractice

EBP- Pediatrics
• No specific techniques or practices directly
related to telepractice
• Available research documents use of various
interventions during telepractice sessions

NOMS comparison
Satisfaction Survey Results

Year 2
Students in both conditions made progress as measured by change in GFTA-2
scores. However, students in telepractice made significantly more improvement.
Chi-Square test suggests that students in telepractice were more likely to
Master IEP goals then children in side-by-side condition.

Performance and outcome
measurement
Quantitative Data
• Clinical evidence
• Assessment and monitoring
• Performance measurement
Qualitative Data
• Personal Evidence
• User impressions of
effectiveness
• User satisfaction
• Quality service surveys
Language Activity Monitoring (LAM)
• LAM tools were developed to support the collection
and analysis of language samples.
• The LAM function is the automatic recording of AAC
device language events.
– Content (One or more letters or words)
– Time (One second resolution time stamp)
• The LAM Intervention
30
When We Know
The content of language events
and the time of language events,
we can deduce how
communication is generated
and measure many parameters.

Private Practice Considerations
 Business Licenses (state to state specific)
 State specific speech and language Licensure
 Other clearances as needed by individual states
 Insurance (liability, workman’s compensation)
 Criminal Clearances
 Legal Consultation
 Accounting/Billing
 Taxes
 Contractors
 Facilitators
 Teleconferencing Platform, Security, and Technical
Hiring the right SLP
SLPs with experience
SLPs comfortable with technology
Organized
Intelligible
Flexible
Willingness to learn
Training the slp
 SLPs meet with trainer and room features are
explained and practiced
 Written procedures and examples are provided to SLPs
 SLPs MUST practice with others to be comfortable with
platform
 Trainer is available to answer questions during the
practice period
 Once comfortable, SLP holds mock therapy session
with trainer
 If the SLP demonstrates proficiency during mock
session, students are assigned
 Trainer observes initial session, if there are concerns
