Telepractice For Aphasia Clients2

Telepractice, or remote speech therapy using telecommunications technology, can help address barriers to treatment for aphasia patients. Transportation costs, travel time, and lack of accessibility due to distance have made speech therapy inaccessible for many patients. Telepractice allows therapy to continue when patients are remote from providers. It provides an alternative to patients not receiving treatment due to accessibility issues. Implementing telepractice for aphasia therapy could help the large number of patients who are currently unable to receive needed treatment.
