Telepractice FAQ

                               
  Is a telepractice approved by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA)?
Yes. A telepractice was approved by ASHA as an appropriate service delivery in 2005. ASHA’s position is that “telepractice is an appropriate model of service delivery for the professions of speech-language pathology [and audiology]. Telepractice may be used to overcome barriers of access to services caused by distance, unavailability of specialists and/or subspecialists, and impaired mobility” (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, “Speech-Language Pathologists Providing Clinical Services via Telepractice: Position Statement,” 2005).
