Question 1

What is Telepractice?

Accepted Answer

Telepractice is the delivery of reading intervention, speech therapy, or SPED professional services by linking a practitioner to the client through an online video platform. Similar to a video chat, it combines technology with 1:1 or group interaction to deliver the highest quality services to students.
 
In 2005, ASHA determined that telepractice is an appropriate model of service delivery for audiologists and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) (ASHA, n.d.).
 
Many schools face the challenge of hiring talented educators with specialized certifications such as reading interventionists or dyslexia practitioners. Additionally, finding these teachers who are willing to apply for part-time work is even more difficult. LD Expert has the solution to this problem!
