#96 The Age of Telepractice in 2024

In this episode of the Listen for LIFE Aphasia Podcast, our host, Genevieve Richardson, is a guest on Telepractice Today for their 200th episode! The episode dives into the world of telepractice and its impact on accessibility and reaching people regardless of their location. Genevieve is joined with Michelle Boisvert where they share their experiences as speech-language pathologists and how telepractice has revolutionized their fields. Here are the top takeaways from this episode:

- Telepractice requires the right equipment, including a reliable computer, a solid wifi connection, an iPad, and a keyboard.

- Tips and tricks for effective telepractice include using two screens for streaming audio and video, screen sharing, and utilizing Google Slides.

- The pandemic has brought both challenges and benefits to telepractice, with increased involvement of parents and caregivers in therapy sessions.

- Standards and training in telepractice are crucial to ensure quality and effectiveness.

- Technology tools like Google Lens can greatly enhance accessibility and engagement for clients with reading disabilities or low vision.

- Real-life case studies demonstrate the significant impact of these tools on clients' progress and independence.

- Telepractice promotes inclusion and provides support for individuals with communication disorders.
