WHAT IS A SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST?
Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) work to prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders in children and adults. We can be found in a variety of settings- schools, private practices, hopitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, ETC. Our goal is to improve our client's ability to communicate and functionally participate in their environment.
OUR SERVICE DELIVERY MODELS
We are elated to provide three service delivery models to our clients.
-
The first is our Telepractice model. This allows our clients to receive quality services in their home through a video conferencing platform.
WHAT IS TELEPRACTICE?
Telepractice is the application of telecommunications technology to the delivery of speech language pathology and audiology professional services at a distance by linking clinician to client or clinician to clinician for assessment, intervention, and/or consultation.
Use of telepractice must be equivalent to the quality of services provided in person and consistent with adherence to the:
-
Code of Ethics (ASHA, 2016a),
-
Scope of Practice in Audiology (ASHA, 2004b),
-
Scope of Practice in Speech-Language Pathology (ASHA, 2016b), state and federal laws (e.g., licensure, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act [HIPAA; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.-c]), and ASHA policy.
