Abstract

The rise of telepractice has significantly impacted the field of speech-language pathology, offering new possibilities for the remote assessment and intervention of pediatric speech-language disorders. This article explores the implementation of telepractice, focusing on the experiences and insights of speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Through video conferencing platforms, digital assessment tools, and active parental involvement, remote evaluations are conducted effectively, despite challenges such as technical issues and maintaining child engagement. Teletherapy sessions, designed to be interactive and flexible, provide consistent and accessible intervention, especially for families in underserved areas. SLPs report benefits including increased reach, enhanced family involvement, and scheduling efficiency, while also addressing challenges related to technology access and building rapport. The article emphasizes the importance of ongoing training, research, and the potential of hybrid models to optimize the delivery of speechlanguage services. Ultimately, telepractice offers a transformative approach to ensuring that children with speechlanguage disorders receive the care they need, regardless of geographical barriers.
