Exploring Telepractice in Speech-Language Pathology: Equally Effective as In-Person Services?

Exploring Telepractice in Speech-Language Pathology: Equally Effective as In-Person Services?
The increasing demand for speech-language pathology services in schools has brought telepractice into the spotlight. A recent study titled Comparing in-Person and Telepractice Service Delivery for Spoken Language Production and Comprehension Using the National Outcomes Measurement System provides valuable insights into the efficacy of telepractice compared to traditional in-person services.

Key Findings from the Research
