Views of Speech-Language Pathologists on Telepractice for Children Who Use Augmentative and Alternative Communication
Biggs, Elizabeth E.; Douglas, Sarah N.; Therrien, Michelle C. S.; Snodgrass, Melinda R.
Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, v61 n1 p31-48 Feb 2023
Telepractice has become increasingly utilized in disability services, particularly with recent and ongoing measures to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). In this study, 361 speech-language pathologists (SLPs) responded to a national, web-based survey about their views on utilizing telepractice with children aged 3 to 21 who used aided augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), such as picture symbols or speech-generating devices. The views of SLPs varied, and SLPs who received training on AAC telepractice within the last 12 months had more positive views about telepractice than those who did not. Several factors were associated with when and how SLPs thought telepractice was beneficial to serve children who use aided AAC, including SLPs' foundational perspectives about telepractice, service delivery options, considerations related to the child and family, and broader resources and constraints.
