Implementing Teleassessment in Speech Therapy: Key Insights from Recent Research

Implementing Teleassessment in Speech Therapy: Key Insights from Recent Research

Teleassessment has become an invaluable tool in speech-language pathology, especially in the wake of global events that limit in-person interactions. A recent study titled "Comparison of In-Person and Online Recordings in the Clinical Teleassessment of Speech Production: A Pilot Study" offers critical insights into the reliability of various speech parameters when assessed online. This blog will explore how practitioners can improve their teleassessment skills by implementing findings from this study.

Key Findings from the Study

The study compared three types of recordings: high-quality in-person recordings, standard-quality in-person recordings, and online recordings via Zoom. The primary focus was on speech production parameters such as intelligibility, articulation, speech rate, and voice measures.

Practical Implications for Clinicians

Based on these findings, clinicians can take several steps to improve their teleassessment practices:

Encouraging Further Research

The study highlights the need for further research, particularly in developing normative data for online assessments and exploring the impact of demographic variables on speech sample analyses. Clinicians are encouraged to contribute to this growing field by participating in or conducting their own research studies.
