Abstract
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, pediatric speech-language services in many parts of the world shifted from a traditional in-person delivery system to one of telepractice. This rapid transition was aided by advancements in the availability of high-speed broadband connectivity, mobile communication technology, and video conferencing platforms. Benefits of telepractice included the increase in parent involvement in the delivery of speech-language services and the facilitation of parent conferences. However, many school districts could not provide clinicians with the needed technological support to implement telepractice. In addition, due to increased time pressure and workload, at-risk children and those with complex communication needs often did not receive the same level of speech-language service as before the pandemic. Despite a need for even better technology and improved methods for online assessment, telepractice will likely continue to be a common delivery method for pediatric speech-language services.
