ASHA Learning Pass

Technology has irrefutably expanded the availability of speech and language services to populations that are more difficult to serve due to mobility challenges and/or remote locations. The articles in this journal self-study illustrate how telepractice – including mixed-service delivery models that incorporate both clinic and telepractice components –can enhance telehabilitation and telerehabilitation practices across a range of communication disorders.

Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:

• summarize how speech-sound intervention and parent-directed fluency intervention delivered via telepractice compare to in-person delivery modes
• discuss maintenance and acquisition of picture naming skills as well as factors that influence success of aphasia rehabilitation via telepractice
• explain how telepractice can be utilized to train parents in language-elicitation strategies for children with significant language delay
