Implementing Telerehabilitation: Enhancing Practitioner Skills

Implementing Telerehabilitation: Enhancing Practitioner Skills

The current issue of the International Journal of Telerehabilitation (IJT) presents several compelling studies that can significantly enhance the skills of practitioners in the field of telerehabilitation. The research covers diverse applications such as health and wellness programs for caregivers, phonological awareness programs for children with hearing loss, telepractice for at-risk youth, and speech and language interventions for primary school-aged children. This blog aims to distill key findings from these studies and provide actionable insights for practitioners looking to improve their telerehabilitation services.

1. Phonological Awareness Program for Children with Hearing Loss

One of the highlighted studies in the IJT issue explores the efficacy of a phonological awareness program tailored for children with hearing loss.

2. Telepractice in School Settings for At-Risk Youth

Another study focuses on the application of telepractice in school settings for at-risk youth.

Practitioners can enhance their skills by:

3. Speech and Language Intervention for Primary School-Aged Children

The IJT issue also includes a study on speech and language intervention for primary school-aged children. The findings underscore the effectiveness of telehealth models in delivering these interventions. To implement these outcomes, practitioners should:

In addition to these specific studies, the IJT emphasizes the importance of diversity in telerehabilitation. The editors encourage contributions from international authors and honor dialectal differences, recognizing that terminology such as telerehabilitation, telepractice, telehealth, and mHealth may vary across professions and regions. Practitioners should be aware of these nuances and strive for inclusive and respectful communication in their practice.
