How to Improve Telepractice Skills in Speech and Language Services: Key Insights from Recent Research

How to Improve Telepractice Skills in Speech and Language Services: Key Insights from Recent Research

Telepractice in speech and language pathology (SLP) has emerged as a vital tool to address the challenges of access and service delivery, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research article titled "Understanding the implementation of telepractice in speech and language services using a mixed-methods approach" provides valuable insights into the factors influencing the successful implementation of telepractice. Here, we discuss how practitioners can leverage these findings to improve their telepractice skills and encourage further research in this domain.

Key Findings and Their Implications

The study utilized a mixed-methods approach, including a scoping review and semi-structured interviews, to identify barriers and facilitators in the implementation of telepractice. Below are the main findings and how they can be applied in practice:

Encouraging Further Research

While the study provides a comprehensive overview, there is still a significant knowledge gap, particularly in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Practitioners are encouraged to contribute to this field by conducting further research and sharing their findings. Implementation science frameworks can guide the systematic planning and feasibility assessment of new telepractice interventions.

By focusing on these key areas, practitioners can enhance their telepractice skills and contribute to the broader field of speech and language pathology.
