Empowering Practitioners with Telepractice: Insights from the International Journal of Telerehabilitation

Empowering Practitioners with Telepractice: Insights from the International Journal of Telerehabilitation

As a speech-language pathologist dedicated to creating optimal outcomes for children, staying informed about the latest research and developments in our field is crucial. The Spring 2015 issue of the International Journal of Telerehabilitation (IJT) offers valuable insights that can enhance your practice, particularly through the use of telepractice. This blog will explore key findings from the issue and discuss how you can implement these insights to improve your skills and services.

The IJT's Spring 2015 issue covers a range of topics, including provider perspectives on telepractice for families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, the use of Facial Affect Training for individuals with chronic traumatic brain injury, and the formulation of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) International Telehealth Position Statement. Here are some of the highlights:

In addition to these studies, the issue also includes announcements of upcoming conferences and new editorial personnel, which can provide further opportunities for professional development and networking.

Implementing Telepractice in Your Practice

Based on the research presented in the IJT, here are some actionable steps you can take to improve your telepractice services:

  1. Advocate for Telepractice: Use the evidence from Behl and Kahn's study to advocate for telepractice within your organization or community. Highlight the benefits such as increased accessibility and family involvement.
  2. Explore Specialized Training Programs: Consider incorporating specialized training programs, like Facial Affect Training, into your telepractice services. The positive outcomes from Williamson and Isaki's case studies can serve as a model.
  3. Adopt Standardized Practices: Refer to the WFOT International Telehealth Position Statement to ensure your telepractice services adhere to international standards. This can enhance the credibility and effectiveness of your services.

Staying updated with the latest research and developments is essential for providing the best possible care to your clients. The Spring 2015 issue of the IJT offers valuable insights that can help you enhance your telepractice services. By implementing these research findings, you can improve accessibility, effectiveness, and client satisfaction in your practice.
