Abstract
Many speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are now finding themselves jumping into a world of telepractice as the coronavirus pandemic has elevated fears and anxieties, closed schools, and in many instances, forced education to move completely online. Telepractice has been defined as the application of telecommunications technology to deliver clinical services at a distance by linking clinician to client, caregiver, or any person(s) responsible for delivering care to the client, for the purposes of assessment, intervention, consultation, and/or supervision (Speech Pathology, Australia, 2014). The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) recognizes telepractice as an acceptable mode of expanding services from a distance while still maintaining clinician and client connections sufficient for assessment, intervention, or consultation (Cherney et al., 2011).
