Webinar Title: Speech Telepractice: Good, Bad or Ugly?
Date: Thursday, July 12th, 2012
Time: 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT)
Cost: No Charge
Abstract: ASHA acknowledges the need to expand the use of technology to enhance the delivery of clinical services-- including telepractice. Although the technology to deliver SLP services at a distance has been available for years, the cost and complexity limited its adoption. While practical questions still remain and telepractice does not meet every need, simple, inexpensive technologies are now enabling a growing number of schools to adopt telepractice to improve outcomes, address critical personnel shortfalls and fill gaps in speech-language services.
Join a nationwide audience of SPED leaders for this timely one-hour webinar. Dr. Barbara J. Moore, with over 20 years of clinical and managerial experience in SPED practice and administration, will moderate a panel of SPED administrators and clinical experts who have in-depth knowledge and experience with telepractice. These experts will share what they have learned first hand about “the good, the bad and the ugly” and answer live questions from the audience during this exciting, informative session.
During this webinar, you will:
- Understand the benefits and limitations of SLP telepractice based on real-world examples.
- Gain insight about the roles and responsibilities of the special ed administrator, the SLP, and teachers in relation to telepractice and its outcomes.
- Become familiar with the body of research supporting telepractice for the delivery of speech therapy in education settings.
