Is Telepractice Ok?
Telepractice is Effective
A common question people ask is, ‘Is Telepractice as good as in-person services?’ After years of data collection, research shows that Telepractice is as effective as in-person treatment. One systematic review by Wales, Skinner and Hayman (1) in 2017 found that children who received speech-language services through telepractice made significant and similar improvements to those who attended face-to-face sessions. Another systematic review found equivalent outcomes for adults (Weidner & Lowman, 2020 (2)). Telehealth is best suited for anyone school-aged or older: our focus clientele.
