Speech therapy telepractice offers the opportunity to transform speech therapy using the power of an interactive, content-rich web environment.
This presentation provides an introduction/orientation to the core procedural and therapeutic competencies, (including the Knesset enacted Patient`s Rights Law/1996) for successful telepractice.
Video examples will demonstrate features of a successful telepractice program including low cost/no cost telepractice platforms and web based treatment. Included will be outcome data demonstrating speech telepractice to be more effective than traditional speech therapy.
Telepractice has emerged as a standard of care in treatment & assessment, requiring competencies in digital clinical skills, preparation for virtual therapy sessions and understanding today’s patients are no longer the same patients traditional therapy was designed to treat.
This presentation provides a model for the future of speech therapy that is becoming part of every speech language pathologist’s treatment armamentarium; much bigger and much sooner that most clinicians realize.
