What is telepractice? How is it different from telemedicine, telehealth, or connected health? Structuring a stable telepractice program requires careful planning and “buy in” from the patients being served and other key stakeholders. Practitioners must know the unique diagnostic and treatment needs of those on their caseload and how these needs can be met using distance technology. This webinar will address the “how to” of delivering telepractice services and the knowledge and skills professionals must obtain to ensure positive outcomes.

What you are going to learn

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe the societal changes occurring that support increased use of telepractice;
  2. Define telepractice as a service delivery model within Speech-Language Pathology;
  3. Describe the technology used to delivery telepractice;
  4. List examples of telepractice service delivery;
  5. Identify the pertinent professional standards and policies that govern evidence-based telepractice service delivery;
  6. Discuss a model of telepractice service delivery; and
